Emerald City: Wizard of Oz series. You can park in the new Hunters lot along River Road and follow Dorothy to the Emerald City, or park in the Nelson Farm Road parking lot and follow Dorothy home! You are looking for a large camouflaged container. In the winter, please stay off the groomed ski trails.
I saw a lot of deer beds in this area, and tracks from many smaller critters. For this series, you may want to bring along an extension TOTT for a few of the caches, and snowshoes make it easier to cross the prairie areas seasonally.
Daily or yearly park sticker required (daily available at parking area). Park hours are 6am-11pm. During cross-country ski season, please keep off the groomed trails. Also, there is hunting allowed in this part of the park during the 9-day deer season at the end of November, Archery hunting through January 31, and a few days in the spring during turkey hunting. Just be aware of your surroundings. ***************************************************************************************************** Willow River State Park has many great attractions and trails including: the large waterfall at Willow Falls, Little Falls Dam and Lake, boat launch and beach, wonderful canoeing/kayaking waterways, fishing, family camping and group camping, cross-country skiing and ice fishing...not to mention all the wildlife. The Geocache Notification Form has been submitted to Aaron L. Mason, Assistant Park Superintendent at Willow River State Park. Geocaches placed on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources managed lands require permission by means of a notification form. Print out a paper copy of the notification form, fill in all required information, then submit it to the land manager. The DNR Notification form and land manager information can be obtained at the Wisconsin DNR website.
