Princess Ledges Nature Preserve is located in
Brunswick Hills Township. This 46 acre preserve is heavily wooded
and offers an abundance of wildlife and wildflowers. Extending more
than 1,100 feet in length, these ledges significantly influence the
plant and animal life found here. This is an excellent spot for
spring warbler watching and wildflower photography. It also has a
high-quality forest including mature oaks and tulip poplars. At one
time thousands of years ago, these cliffs were the shore for Lake
Erie. Due to the topography of the site, handicap access to the
trails is very limited.
A little over a ½ mile round-trip hike will be required to get
this cache. Begin from the parking located on Spruce Rd., on the
west side of Pearl Rd. just north of Grafton. Take the trail near
the park sign into the woods.
Follow the trail to the yellow sign,
Go right at the fork, then past lots of vines.
A fallen giant across from them,
Then down, down, down on your way to this gem.
Over the bridge built by Paul,
Then bear left...take care not to fall.
The red trail is longer but stay with the yellow,
And soon you'll be a lucky fellow.
Walk across the second bridge,
It's not too high-- just over a ridge.
Now count three trees then a mossy rock,
Stop, stand still, and now take stock.
Look for two that stand together,
Sharing space in all kinds of weather.
Living closely side by side,
This is where you'll find the hide.
The cache, a small peanut butter jar, is located about 8 feet
from the trail, so please do not bushwhack. Please remember to
cache in and trash out. Park closes at dark.
This cache will expire on October 31,
2010.
If you have questions or concerns about any of
the caches in this challenge, please contact Shelley at
