Fairmont Park Boat Ramp Traditional Cache

Fairmont Park has become one of our favorites spots here in Manhattan to hang out. It has the dog park and many big wide open green areas. It is very close the Kaw River that it has its own boat ramp to access it. We don't have a boat yet but on summer we like to bring canoes to float, paddle and fish its murky waters.

A fellow cacher used to have a micro on the bridge that sadly had to be archived due city's make-up program. The area below the bridge is very neat and provides people with a nice view of the river. Take some time to enjoy the river, watch the calm flowing waters, think about all the potential power the river has on its waters, admire the engineering marvel of a bridge above your head. I know it sounds silly but this is one of the many things geocaching brings —at least— to my life.

When searching for the cache please remember and follow park regulation as stated below:

• Hours:  6:00 am - 11:00 pm
• No liquor or cereal malt beverages
• No motorized vehicles except in parking areas
• No firearms or hunting
• No tree cutting
• No fires

The cache is a cookie tin can that has the appropriate camouflage to prevent it from being muggled and to help improving any geocacher's geocaching searching skills. From the trailhead coordinates follow the path for about 200 feet. You can reach the cache from any other place but why not to use a trail, right? I did :)
