Devil's Pond is the northern most summit of Sleepy Creek Mountain, its not far from the Woods Resort. It's a beautiful area with some unique rock formations where the stream, Meadow Branch, goes through the canyon. It's a special environment with lots of hemlock trees and rhododendron plants. This place is worth the hike!
Sleepy Creek WMA has a trail access in Sleepy Hollow Subdivision. You will park at the coordinates listed as Parking, near a sign that says "Sleepy Creek WMA, Devil's Nose Access". You will be parking and hiking in Sleepy Creek WMA. Follow Audubon Road about 2 miles to Maverick Trail. The access is at the end of Maverick Trail at the coordinates below. Should anyone ask, tell them you are going to the Sleepy Creek Access.
This cache is located very near Devil's Pond. To find this cache, pass Devil's Pond ( on the left), cross Meadow Branch where the trail leads into the stream. Meadow Branch is a trout stream with lots of large rocks and very easy to cross unless there are severe rains. The cache is on the left side of the stream just a little ways down.
To return to the parking areas you will go back up upstream. Follow the trail up stream and then when Meadow Branch turns and goes out of sight continue on the trail to the large open area.
When the water in Meadow Branch is up, it will be impossible to cross the stream to get to this cache.
