Micro Cache Located within the County Park. Park closes at sunset.
The cache is located at an old local swimming hole that has the coldest water in Baldwin County. The trail to this area is finally opened to the public. But no more swimming allowed.
At the turn of the century, the water from the many natural springs along both sides of the river was declared "the purest in the world" by several chemical companies in Chicago. The community's name comes from the ever-flowing springs and the abundance of aged magnolia trees that grace every residential garden. A majestic canopy of giant oak trees lines the hamlet's streets as well as a variety of exquisite camellias, and, in spring, the highways and byways of Magnolia Springs become a bower of azalea, wisteria, dogwood, and magnolia blossoms.
Central to this community is the river -- today the Magnolia River remains the only river route mail delivery in the continental United States. Quaint boathouses grace each shore, water birds swoop and dive, and the river banks are lush with wildlife and greenery. In decades past, the river was the "highway" for all commerce and communication, with steamers, sailboats and paddle wheelers connecting the river's residents with the outside world.
