Cammouflaged ammo can near old trail.
Havens Park is 65 acres of trees, trails, and paths. The City acquired ten acres in 1949 and the remaining 55 acres were donated to the City by the Anthony family to honor Mrs. Anthony's family, the Havens. Havens Park features a driving and walking area and bicycle trails. The park is now used for walking, dog exercise, and bicycle-cross. There are many beautiful Redbud trees and nice views to be discovered. Unfortunately, the park was not used very much in the past and some inconsiderate parties have decided to take advantage of this for some dumping. Consequently, there is plenty of opportunity for CITO credit. Some areas do have broken glass scattered about. This is a park with great potential and as use increases, so will improvements.
This cache is a bit of a hike from the parking circle. Depending on the route you choose, you could walk a further distance (less than .5 mile one-way), or take a more direct route (less than .25 mile one-way) which would require some bushwhacking and steeper climb to get to the top of the hill. The cache is located a bit off of an old trail that has lately seen more deer hooves than feet. At one time it appears that there may have been a street light nearby. You are looking for a camouflaged ammo can hidden like many others. Inside is a “First to Find” prize in addition to a variety of things for all ages.
There is no need to go on any private property to get to this cache.
Leavenworth parks are open only from daylight until 10:00 PM.
CAUTION: JANUARY 1ST TO JANUARY 31ST THIS PARK MAY BE OPEN FOR HUNTING AS PART OF A DEER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. BRIGHT CLOTHING OR HUNTING ORANGE CLOTHING ARE RECOMMENDED.
