Geocache Description:

This cache is located along a seemingly little-known trail called the Yankton Lake Loop. It can be reached from the North or the South, the hike from the north is a little more difficult but not terribly so. Access from the south begins at Chief White Crane campground.


While camping at Chief White Crane, we noticed a small hand-written sign referring to the "Yankton Lake Loop" (4.5 miles by the way) and asked one of the park employees for a map. No such map exists.. We took it upon ourselves then, to walk the trail one morning and find where it would come out on the other end. Along the way, we enjoyed the scenery and wildlife and found it odd that no geocaches had been placed along this trail (even though there are several in the campground). We marked a likely spot, came back the next day to check our coordinates and dropped off a mid-sized Lock-N-Lock. Initial contents were: logbook, pencil, rain poncho, calculator, small multi-tool, retractable cell-phone charger, CITO bag and a Moose TB.

No guarantees on the winter friendliness of this cache, the hike to the cache may be pretty long if you're not dressed for the cold.
