Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park
This is a good place to take a walk. Golden Gate Park, San
Francisco's largest, is bigger than New York’s Central Park.
About 3 miles long and 1/2-mile wide it covers 1,013 acres. GGP has
over one million trees, nine lakes, several fly casting pools and a
lily pond within its borders. Strybing Arboretum and Botanical
Garden, the Conservatory of Flowers and several museums are among
its many attractions.
Stow Lake encircles Strawberry Hill in a beautiful, secluded area
of Golden Gate Park. The most popular activities in Stow Lake are
to rent paddle boats or kayaks, or to take a bike ride around its
beautiful shore. Strawberry Hill, rising from the center of the
lake, is accessible either by boat or by the beautiful Roman Bridge
where you will walk by a traditional Chinese platform to get an
excellent view of the massive waterfall running from the hill into
the lake. Although there is plenty to see in Golden Gate Park, this
is not something that you want to miss. With a plethora of herons,
seagulls, exotic flowers, and other wildlife, Stow Lake and
Strawberry Hill is one of the most visually arresting areas of San
Francisco. Stow Lake was completed in 1893 as was the Rustic Bridge
shown below, which is used to access Strawberry Hill.
Cache container is a M258A1 Military Decontamination (Decon)
Box.

Very nice hide! Couldn't believe it was actually there. Some mallards and geese where keeping the boaters company on the lake today. Seems a lot of people also like to feed the squirrels, egads. Thanks for placing this cache!
