Geocache approved in May 2023 by the Park Manager, Tina Miller. All Geocaches and their placement must be approved by Park Manager. Cache was previously approved by Park Manager for initial placement and again in Dec 2015 when coordinates were updated under the supervision of a park ranger.
I do NOT recommend leaving trackables in this geocache.
Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities at Little Manatee River State Park. Camping is available with electric and water hook-ups, set within a pristine sand pine scrub. A primitive camp, located along the trail, is available by reservation only. Picnic tables and shelters are available in the picnic area along the river. Visitors can explore the river by canoe and observe the area's scenic beauty and wildlife. Freshwater fishing opportunities include bass, bream and catfish. A Florida freshwater fishing license is required for persons 16 years of age or older. Several miles of trails are open for horseback riding. Riders must furnish their own horses and confine riding to designated, established trails. Proof of a recent negative Coggins test is required. Horse camping sites are available.
All visitors must register at the park's ranger station and pay the small fee.
The container is an ammo can filled with T-shirt, stapler, post it notes, two golf balls and tees, and a toy stuffed animal.
Adopted by BabyRuthie 12/5/2012. The previous owners could no longer take care of these caches, and unfortunately do not cache anymore. Thank you both for all you have done in the geocaching community. You will always be remembered and never forgotten! Later adopted by raynib2002 on 10/11/2013.
