Geocache Description:

Located in Terrapin Park off the main trail. Container is a small lock & lock. Do not try the direct route, stay on the path as long as possible.

Spring is Tick Season - Take necessary precautions!

Terrapin Park - Rt. 50/301 to North Rt. 8 to Log Canoe Circle, turn left, continue to parking area on left.

This award-winning 276-acre nature park features a 3.25-mile oyster chaff walking trail, which meanders through wildflower meadows, wetlands, tidal ponds,woodlands and sandy beaches. The trail provides a unique vantage point for viewing an incredible variety of waterfowl, wildlife and plant species. A gazebo and wheelchair-accessible boardwalk, located along the beach afford a spectacular view of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and park benches located along the trail provides a brief respite for the weary. The trail, which wanders over several ridges, across marshlands and through woodlands, features two observation blinds overlooking the tidal ponds. The trail connects to the County’s Cross Island Trail system. Portable toilets are available year round.

The website says pets are not permitted, although signs at the park say pets must be on a leash. There are also some 'doggie bags' stations at the park.

Park is open dawn to dusk.

Start on the main paved trail - take first gravel path to the left. At the observation blind stay to the right.
