Dakins Lake Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

Heartland Cacher: Greetings from Geocaching.com I'm Heartland Cacher, one of the volunteer reviewers for new caches submitted to Geocaching.com from Nebraska and Wyoming.

It has been a while since I first looked at this cache. I can't find any recent responses from the Cache Owner about maintaining this cache soon so it will be archived and removed from the active cache listings.

When you have repaired this cache, drop me a line and I can review it again for listing on the geocaching.com site. Caches archived three months or more may need to be resubmitted as a new cache.

If you don't care to continue on with this project, please remove any remaining cache bits from the area.

Thanks for your understanding,
Heartland Cacher
Your friendly Geocaching.com Volunteer Cache Reviewer

BRING YOUR FISHING POLE!!!

Dakins Lake is a 41 acre park located North of Zearing, Iowa maintained by Story County Conservation. It has Camp sites, hiking trails, a restored prairie & woodland area, playground & a 5 acre lake stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, channel catfish, & crappies.

The other trail is muddier but shorter (.4 M). Some parts of both trails can be muddy after a rain -- so wear your hiking boots.
