You are looking for an ammo can located on the Tranquil Trail, about a half mile from the parking area (see additional waypoint for "parking"). This area is open during normal park hours, 7am to 10pm. The trails are not accessible after dark.
This geocache is to commemorate our visit during the weekend of June 21-23, 2013. The Jazzmasters kicked off our weekend with a Friday night event and the Tick-Magnets joined us on Saturday to host a daytime event featuring watermelon, which was a perfect break from the summer heat! Huge thanks to Biker64 for placing all of the new caches in the park for us to find. Folks were busy on the trails all weekend enjoying his creative hides. Our night-time event included our "Jackpot Camper Drawing", s'mores and a really awesome guided Historic Night Hike to the old power house.

Located northwest of Macon, High Falls State Park is named for tumbling cascades on the Towaliga River. Boat rental, ramps and fishing docks provide easy access to the park’s lake, known as one of Georgia’s top fishing spots for hybrid and white bass. Overnight visitors can choose from a spacious campground or lakeside yurts, which are like canvas and wood tents. Each yurt features a small deck, picnic table and grill outside, plus furniture, electrical outlets and a ceiling fan inside. During summer, guests may cool off in the park’s swimming pool.
Visitors can hike along the river’s edge and through hilly forest to the remains of a hydroelectric power plant foundation. In the early 1800s, this area was a prosperous industrial town with several stores, a grist mill, cotton gin, blacksmith shop, shoe factory and hotel. High Falls fell from prosperity in the 1880s when a major railroad bypassed it. Today, the park is a popular camping destination and a relaxing side trip for travelers on I-75.
