Geocache Description:

Attention Geocachers:

Changes have been made to the location of the second (intermediate) waypoint and the final critter cache location for the winter. On-site coordinate postings have been adjusted accordingly and the first waypoint is the same.

Kathio's visitors can experience several different styles of camping year-round or even "rough it" in one of the new heated Camper Cabins. You can climb the 100 ft. observation/fire tower and look across the majesty of Mille Lacs Lake. Take part in Kathio's extensive interpretive/nature programs or get out by yourself and hike on the park's varied trail system. Kathio has a wonderful swimming beach plus canoes or rowboats you can rent for a trip on the historic Rum River and Ogechie and Shakopee lakes.

Mille Lacs Lake is the source of the Rum River that flows through the park. It links three lakes near its headwaters on a trip down to the Mississippi River just over 140 miles away. Two of those lakes, Ogechie and Shakopee, fall within Kathio's borders and provide good fishing and canoeing or boating opportunities. The river, lakes and park trails offer visitors excellent opportunities to watch waterfowl, bald eagles, osprey, otter, beaver, loons, deer, bear, coyotes and many others.

For more information about the park visit the park's webpage.

The cache in this park is a total of three stages. You can drive to the first two stages and the third stage is just over a half mile round trip hike. There is also one other cache in the park: GC12H6G
