In the western part of Buckeye
Woods Park, explore the natural heritage of the site along
trails that wind through woods and meadows in the Schleman Nature
Preserve. This preserve, named for the family which donated the
original acreage, was opened in 1989 and will remain undeveloped
for the enjoyment of nature and wildlife viewing. The low lying
areas along the creek provide the ideal growing conditions for Ohio
buckeye trees, red maples and a very impressive Burr Oak.
Parking is located west of Buckeye Woods on SR 162, just before
SR 42 (coordinates listed below). A small lock-n-lock 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 Buckeye Woods trivia hunt
cache. Enter the park via the footbridge at the waypoint listed
below.
This cache will expire on November 30, 2011.
