Geocache Description:

Located in Stewart Park, Dane County's first county park. Not quite a 1/2 mile easy hike to the cache from parking lot on the nice wide trails. Direction signs (wrong way) are for the cross country skiing.
There may be some wild berry branches and some burrs near the cache at times to watch out for, but they should be able to be avoided for the most part.

Please continue to explore the rest of this park after completing the cache. There should be maps near the parking lot next to the dog permits.

NOTE: DEER HUNTING PERMITTED IN THIS PARK!!!
Signs will be posted when hunting is allowed.

No hunting should be occuring along hiking/skiing trails but you may want to wear blaze orange anyway.
