Welcome to
Geocaching in Anoka County Parks.
We are pleased to
be a part of a trial evaluation project for Geocaching in
Anoka County Parks.
These caches have been placed with permission
of the Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department in Rice Creek
Chain of Lakes Park Preserve as a pilot study to evaluate
the feasibility of allowing caches to be placed in other Parks
in the future. This study will run for one year and be
evaluated before a determination will be made about placing caches
in other Anoka County Parks. Please do not ask to place
caches in this, or any other Anoka County Park until the evaluation
has been completed.
So please visit these caches and log your
finds. Keep in mind that, as with all logs, they are
usually read by Park staff and should communicate your experiences
and observations while in the Park. Hopefully, you did some
CITO while visiting and can relay that information to the
staff.
So.....here's the
cache:
You are looking for a
traditional 5 Gallon Pail hidden in the Woods. This is an example
of how GeoCaching began.
The old road you are walking
on once went entirely around Centerville Lake. I remember
using it long before Anoka acquired this land. Notice how the
ice has pushed up the soil around the lakeshore. In some places
it's over your head.
Cache is large and
contains larger trading items, CITO containers, log book and
pencil. If you leave GeoCoins or TB's, please place them in
the log book bag so they don't get lost.
This cache is accessible from
established trails. Do not bushwack or create new trails. You will
get wet feet if you do so.
Trade up, Trade even, or do
not Trade.
Park Hours are 6 am to 1/2
hour after sunset.
Vehicle Permit required for
entry.
Have Fun, and Be
Safe.
Special Note:
This cache will be disabled and removed during the months of
October, November, and December, when a controlled archery
deer hunt takes place. Thank You for your
understanding.
