I made all these caches located in Wilderness Park very kid friendly with ZERO bushwhacking. Just stay on the main trails and you'll find all the caches. Lot of Woodpeckers, ducks and peepers here.
Congrats to Loch Cache for being the FTF!
Wilderness Park and Cappadona.This large woodland and wetland area has proved to be a significant haven for a wide variety of wildlife. Its location north of the VA Hospital grounds and within the Springs Brook corridor results in a rich combination of diverse habitats and edge areas. Wilderness Park includes two parcels conveyed to the town between 1959 and 1983 from the federal government as surplus property, together comprising over 73 acres. This large tract supports a varied wildlife population, including pileated woodpecker, barred owl and fisher. Parking is available at the VA Hospital/Middlesex Community College parking lot south of Fawn Lake.
The trail system at Wilderness Park is well-maintained, and has been enhanced by two recent bridge and bog bridge projects. Current improvements include the construction of additional trails to connect existing pathways. The Cappadona Conservation Area is a 12.5-acre property situated adjacent to Wilderness Park along Springs Brook. Acquired in 1993 as a gift in association with a small residential subdivision, the parcel is particularly important as wetland turtle habitat. A wetland trail from Wilderness Park would allow viewing of Springs Brook and its bordering marshes.
This is a large container and will hold lots of items. Please bring your own pen/pencil.
