The Manito Lake Main Area Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The cache is located off a gravel trail up a slight slope on a grassy area. This should be Handicapped Accessible with assistance. You might consider it a little bushwhack - not much.
The cache is located on the 871 acre Manito Lake Conservation Area located 5 miles south of Tipton just off Hwy 5 on East Manito Rd. There is a 77 acre lake located on the area. Recreational opportunities include Bird Watching - Fishing - Hunting - Trapping - Outdoor Photography - Wildlife Watching. The area is open to the public form 04:00 am until 10:00 pm. All hunting, trapping and fishing is regulated by the Missouri Department of Conservation.
Missouri Department of Conservation Special Use Permit MDC-SUP# 1-8101-09-02.
There is a large parking area near the cache. It is located off of a gravel trail that goes to the fishing jetty. It is about 75 feet off the trail up a slight rise. Most of the area is mowed grass. There could be a small amount of bushwhacking (minimal). This should be wheel chair accessible with assistance (over gravel and grass). The cache will be a 32 ounce plastic jar in a camo covered pipe. Remove the cover and the cache lifts out the top - Pleas replace the top when through to help keep the cache dry. I called the container small but there is room for several small treasures or TB's. Watch for sticker bushes. This should be a low to medium Muggle area.
