Buckeye
Woods Park is the largest park in the system. Named for the
graceful stands of Buckeye trees along its creek, the park offers a
diversity of terrain and activities. Amenities include soccer and
softball fields, a reservable picnic shelter, picnic tables and
grills, two playgrounds, and a three-acre fishing pond. A paved,
accessible path circles the pond and wooded areas of the park and
provides a great place to walk for exercise or enjoyment. The new
2.2-mile Chippewa North Trail has a gravel surface and meanders
through upland pine stands to wet woods and created wetlands. This
trail has a variety of interesting habitats for users to
experience. The trail loops around a wetland restoration project on
the north side of the park.
The trail to the cache can be accessed from either parking lot
(see coordinates listed below). A regular sized container is
located within about 15 feet of the trail, so please do not
bushwhack. Please remember to cache in and trash out. Park closes
at dark. Round trip distance from parking lot to cache is
approximately 1/2 mile.
Once you find the cache, why not extend your hike? It's a
scenic 3/4 mile walk from here to the Schleman Nature Preserve
trivia hunt cache. Enter the park via the footbridge at the
waypoint listed below.
This cache will expire on November 30, 2011.
