Somewhere along the nature trail
After a short drive beyond Lake Lure on Hwy 74, bear right at the
fork onto Hwy 9, and you will come to Donald Ross Nature Trail Park
on the left. It's right across the street from a large, well-known
grocery chain.
Parking is obvious. This is a new nature trail park, located in
Lake Lure. It is still under construction, and you will see lots of
work in progress as they clear dead wood, and define the
trails.
Your first decision
Shortly after walking into the entrance, you will come to a fork in
the path. To find THIS cache, take the left fork on the Dogwood
Trail, & follow your GPS. Or, if you prefer, you can take the
right path (Piney Hill Trail) to find our other cache in the park,
In The Woods At Lake Lure. Since both trails terminate at
Creekside Trail at the other end, either choice will lead you to
both caches. Finding both caches will result in you completing a
"loop" hike of approx. .5 mile.
Enjoy the trails and the "Solitude in The Woods," and if you are
lucky, you might see some wildlife.
The cache container is a 6" square plastic container with a rather
tight fitting lid. Please be sure it is resealed tightly, and
rehidden completely when you leave. Also, remember that animals and
woodland critters have very sensitive noses, so please do not leave
any food or scented items in the cache. Thanks!
