Geocache Description:

This cache is located on the eastern side of Cincinnati in the East Fork Lake State Park. It is under a small rock ledge on the side of a steep hill. It overlooks a waterfall on a large creek that flows into East Fork Lake. It is unique in that there is no poison ivy surrounding it or anywhere near it. Be sure to slide down to the falls and look up and down the creek. There are a series of steps, or small falls up stream, and the lake is not far down stream.
