Three Birch Trees and a Pine Walk into a Park....
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Cache is located in Willow River State Park. Park at the coordinates below (just north of the main entrance on Cty. Rd. A), be sure you have a daily or yearly state park sticker, and take the gray trail (then the pink trail) to the cache. This is a multi-use trail and well maintained all season.
Cache is a very short distance off the main trail – stay on that trail till you get near the cache itself. This is the highest part of the park, and the trails here (that is, once you get here from below) are smooth and level. On the other side of the trail from this cache is another scenic overlook of the Willow River – be sure to go down and check it out. Watch your step when it’s icy or wet. Regular size lock container – as always, be safe, be gentle with the area, and enjoy.
