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.

If you have questions or concerns about any of the caches in this series, please contact Shelley at 330.239.4814 or stender@medinaco.org.
