Geocache Description:


*********************************************************
Caches are not allowed in Milo McIver. Clackamas Geocaching Association asked for and received special permission to place caches within the park.

Please do not place any caches within the park without permission from the parks management.
*********************************************************

THERE IS A $3 DAY-USE FEE FOR THIS PARK so plan to visit as many caches in the park as you can!

**PARK ONLY IN DESIGNATED PARKING LOTS, TURN OUTS AND MARKED SPACES ONLY. DO NOT PARK ON THE SHOULDER OR IN THE ROADWAY!**

We have been granted special permission to place these caches in the park so please tread lightly as you are hunting.

Current day-use hours are posted at the park entrance but a basic rule of thumb is sunrise to sunset. $3 daily day-use fee or buy a 12-month permit for $25, or a 24-month permit for $40. The 1- and 2-year permits are good at all state park day-use areas.

Situated along the scenic Clackamas River, McIver State Park is only 45 minutes from Portland. This beautiful park provides a variety of outstanding recreational opportunities.

Within this little-known gem, you can spend a day or a week exploring the river, forest and fields. River-lovers can challenge the sometimes wild (but always picturesque) Clackamas River with rafts, canoes or kayaks.

Prefer to stay dry? You can hike, or ride your horse. Still too sweaty for you? Spend a lazy afternoon playing the year-round, 27-hole disc golf course. Discs are available at the park to rent or buy.

If you're planning a special gathering, reservable picnic sites with a shelter are available. If you just need to get away for a while, individual and group campsites are waiting for you. When staying at McIver during the summer, we have family-oriented interpretive programs -- from guided hikes to nature crafts. An annual civil war re-enactment occurs in September. More than 300 actors participate.

McIver State Park offers something for everyone. See you there!
