Geocache Description:

This is an ammo box located in Golden Ponds Park. Round walking/biking is about .8 miles.

Swag/trade items should be "golden" in color.

Golden Ponds Park and Nature Area opened in 1990. Land was donated to the City of Longmont by the V.V. Golden Foundation. Vernon Golden, who had mined gravel on this site, donated the land to Longmont citizens as a place to fish, walk and enjoy nature.

With a magnificent view of the Longs Peak and the Front Range, this park features 94 acres with 56 acres of water surface in 4 ponds (more have been added since this text was written). The park, a trailhead to the St. Vrain Greenway, has 2.6 miles of park trails, a handicap-accessible fishing pier, 2 restrooms and 9 picnic shelters. In 1996, a bridge and trail project replaced a culvert river crossing which the St. Vrain washed out nearly every year. A 140 foot span bridge now crosses the river just downstream of a concrete cascade- a reminder of the gravel and concrete operations that created the ponds.

Wildlife of all kinds, especially waterfowl like great blue herons and cormorants, are easily viewed in the park.
