Geocache Description:

"Cache in Hand" is located in the DeVries Nature Conservancy and should be accessed from State Hwy 52. Please park in designated areas and do not attempt to drive directly to this cache on the trail system. Some moderate walking is required.

This cache is a half gallon plastic container (camo) and is the fourth cache placed at the DeVries Nature Conservancy. All of them are hidden near primary trails and are easily accessible from the main parking area.

The DeVries Nature Conservancy is a nonprofit organization created through the estate of Jack and Frances DeVries. It was the DeVries’ intent that their property endure forever as a place for the community to enjoy; dedicated to preserving the natural history and agricultural heritage of Shiawassee County.

DeVries Nature Conservancy’s 3.8 miles of trails take visitors through 136 acres of farmland, forest, restored prairie, and floodplain along the beautiful Shiawassee River—just 5 minutes from downtown Owosso. Visit the Conservancy year-round for a great place to hike, cross country ski, learn more about Michigan’s natural history, or find a quiet place to commune with Nature.

The DeVries’ Historical Carriage and Sleigh Museum boasts one of the finest collections of carriages, buggies, surreys, sleighs and cutters in the Midwest. Entrance to the Museum is by appointment only.

This Conservancy is just one of many interesting and historic attractions in Owosso. Curwood Castle is certainly another destination worth checking out, located about two and a half miles south along the bank of the Shiawassee River. If you are not from the area, please take some time to visit the city and appreciate the rich, cultural heritage it offers.
