Geocache Description:

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 submitted to and approved by Scott Erickson of the Wisconsin DNR, for this cache. Please note that any geocache placed on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resouce managed lands requires permission by means of this notification form.
