Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Located on Alligator Rock Trail in Kanawha State Forest. Recommended parking is in the lot by the swimming pool.
To avoid too much disruption of certain area over time, we were asked to move our original Gator Bait cache to an alternate location. We are happy to give you: Son of Gator Bait. A pretty steep climb will lead you to this cache, but it will be worth it in the end. On your way you will get a close view of the legendary Alligator Rock. Original inventory of this ammo box cache includes: a $5 bill for the first to find, a bunch of toy alligators, and some other cool toys/prizes brought over from the original. Please take your picture with the enclosed camera.

i lived right over the hill from KSF in davis creek for a few years and i never knew about these rock formations and i heart rock formations, so i was very pleased to explore some new ones. a tree has recently fallen over the trail near gator rock and the gator has some twigs in his teeth nowadays. the tree isn't blocking the trail yet, but it could fall further at anytime so be careful. TNLNSL thanks for leading me here!

We went out for a Christmas hike in KSF and I chose the Alligator Rock Trail for my family and our new dog's inaugural KSF hike. Between the crazy dog and the muddy slippery hillside it proved to be pretty challenging. I found the cache pretty easily and it was actually in running water due to all of the rain in the morning. The ammo box was effective in keeping the contents dry, though. I took a TB which, I thought, had lost its attachment. There were a number of items in the box which seemed like possible TB toys so I took a little lion figure. When I got home I discovered that the owner never attached anything to the TB so I went ahead and attached the lion. It's much more interesting now.

Went to find this one with the Pirate and his nieces and nephews. HOwever, the little ones were not able to make it to the actual cache, so I ended up finding it with his oldest nephew. Lots of goodies in the cache so it was too bad they were not able to look through it. Enjoyed going on this hike again. We found the original Gator Bait before it had to be moved... I would have never seen the cool gator if it weren't for caching. That is what makes this cache so good because there is such a cool sculpture in the end. TNLN SL. TFTC

We was taking our children out for a stroll in the park looking at different leaves and stumbled across this box! We didnt know what to do we thought is it a bomb should we open it or should we not.
