2010 NE OSP Challenge -Punderson Traditional Cache

Take a walk along the Beach Trail at beautiful Punderson State Park. Here you can enjoy a great view of Lake Punderson, the largest and deepest naturally-formed kettle lake in Ohio. The lake was created approximately 12,000 years ago when the last glaciers receded from the area, leaving behind a huge ice chunk that eventually melted and formed this beautiful natural wonder, which is still enjoyed by both man and a large variety of wildlife. Cache is about .30 mile round trip.
