Geocache Description:

It's an off-trail quest into a little-traveled, but pretty area bordered on two sides by small streams. It's a peaceful spot to watch the water flow by--even in winter the streams don't freeze so no crossing over on the ice. The cache is well-hidden but the bushwhacking isn't too bad.


Take a 2 mile hike to this out-of-the way, but scenic spot in the Brooklyn Wildlife Area. While not an actual island its location between two running streams can make it challenging to reach. After rains the field will be muddy and it could require wading in the marsh. It's best found after dry weather, or in the winter when the marshy areas are frozen. Navigate carefully or you can end up on the wrong side of a stream and unable to cross. The nearest parking is a gravel lot on Bellbrook Road at N42° 52.7295 W89° 28.2412. Since this is in a popular public hunting area please wear blaze orange during hunting seasons. You're looking for a medium-sized, well-camouflaged cache. The Geocache Notification Form has been submitted to Mike Foy of the Wisconsin DNR. Geocaches placed on Wisconsin Department of Natural Resource managed lands require permission by means of a notification form. Please print out a paper copy of the notification form, fill in all required information, then submit it to the land manager.
