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 only a couple feet off the main trail – enjoy the walk into this serene forest area. There’s a good sized hill here, but the trail is wide and well-kept, so take your time (and feel free to sit and take a break) and keep an eye out for a variety of wildlife. Small plastic container awaits – room for coins and small trade items. Enjoy the area.
