The
Lester Rail Trail is the first example of conversion of a
former rail corridor for public use as a bike/hike trail in Medina
County. The limestone trail extends 2.5 miles from Lester Road in
York Township to the Medina County Career Center. Visitors to the
trail can enjoy mostly level terrain which travels through
farmland. Wildlife along the trail is abundant, and remnants of
prairie grasses can be seen as well. The Cardinal Flower, a
relatively rare wetland species, can be seen in wet areas along the
trail.
***Please note this trail is paved and in full sun. It may
become very hot during the day, so keep this in mind when bringing
children and pets along. You may want to bring an adequate amount
of drinking water.
The trail to the cache can be accessed from the Career Center
parking lot (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 mile.
This cache will expire on November 30, 2011.
