A small cache hidden on the Lake Trail at Lake Wissota State Park.
PLEASE NOTE: Stay away from the bank. The hillside next to the lake
is highly erodible and even light foot traffic can cause problems
here. The cache is at the top of the bank about 20 feet off of the
trail. Do Not Go Down The Bank Please!! Enjoy the short hike with a
beautiful view of Lake Wissota. I recommend hiking .11 miles along
the trail SE of the cache and checking out the effigy mound located
there as well.
It's that time of year again, the very first day of summer and Zuma's birthday. Today is day 9 of Zuma's 52 days of summer. A cache a day for 52 days dedicated to the cachemaster himself. There will be a variety of caches ranging in size and difficulty. Also a challenge. Even though it seems unfair to challenge others to deprive Zuma of the thing he loves the most (FTF's), it also makes the FTF sweeter when it is earned. So the FTF for each cache gets their name in a drawing for prizes to be given out at an end of summer event. 52 chances to win a geocoin, a cache or what ever else I can come up with. Lets see who is up to the challenge.
Lake Wissota State Park
This park northeast of Chippewa Falls has 1,062 acres of primarily young, rich forests and open prairie on a 6,300-acre manmade lake. The park offers secluded campsites, hiking trails, and a 285-foot swimming beach. Lake Wissota attracts boaters and anglers after walleyes, muskies, bass, panfish, northern, catfish, and sturgeon. The lake was created in 1918 when the Wisconsin-Minnesota Power and Light Company built a dam on the Chippewa River. The region's early history goes back more than 150 years to 1836, when Frenchman Jean Brunet built the region's first sawmill at the falls of the Chippewa River. Within a year it was ranked as one of the world's largest sawmills. The Chippewa long since has been harnessed to provide electrical power. Pine forests, mixed hardwood timbers, prairie, and marshes are found in the park. The park has a permanent fishing pier especially designed to provide easy access for anglers with disabilities.
Nature
Among the wild animals often seen at Lake Wissota State Park are white-tailed deer, badger, red fox, woodchuck, mink, otter, muskrat, and beaver. More than 200 species of birds have been sighted, and geese and other waterfowl often stop on the lake during the spring and autumn migrations. Serious birdwatchers may pick up species checklists at the park office. "Wonder Walk" packs may be checked out at the park office. These backpacks are full of activities for children and adults alike to learn more about the nature and environment surrounding Lake Wissota. Ask at the park office for more information
