This cache is in memory of Mike who left many tracks on the prairie
trails in this park. Trails are marked and well used but some will
be sandy. Depending on when you hike, you'll discover a prairie
burned and black, new green growth, flowers in full bloom or a
white snowy blanket . Please don't cut across the prairies and no
need to stray far off the trails or the fire lane. Besides a cache,
you may discover other tracks and leave a few of your
own.
This cache is a square clear geocaching container located in Lake
Wissota State Park. This park has 1,062 acres of primarily young
rich forests and open prairie on a 6,300-acre man-made lake. The
park offers secluded campsites, hiking trails, and a 285-foot
swimming beach. Pine forests, mixed hardwood timbers, prairie, and
marshes are found in the park. The park has a permanent fishing
pier especially designed to provide easy access for anglers with
disabilities. Dusk is a great time for wildlife watching. Among the
wild animals often seen at Lake Wissota State Park are white-tailed
deer, badger, red fox, woodchuck, mink, otter, muskrat, and beaver.
More than 200 species of birds have been sighted, and geese and
other waterfowl often stop on the lake during the spring and autumn
migrations. WDNR Geocache Notification Form 2500-118 has been
