Geocache Description:

Small Cache located near the bird blind in the Spillway Prairie- placed with permission.

The bird blind in the Spillway Prairie offers an exciting glimpse into the wildlife of Southwestern Ohio. The prairie offers views of native wetland habitats and native praire grasses and flowers.

Visitors should begin their tours at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Visitor Center, the overlook and the dam areas. The Visitor Center offers a wide variety of displays and presentations covering a variety of topics including wildlife, fossils and construction of the dam. Visitor Center hours are normally 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Picnic areas are located at the Visitor Center, Flat Fork Ridge and Tail Water recreation sites. Each area has parking, picnic tables, grills, water fountains and restroom facilities.

For the more energetic visitor there are over 40 miles of trails. From the Visitor Center take the short 1/5 of a mile trail, the 3/4 mile trail, or start the 13 mile trail which goes around the southern portion of the lake. More trails are accessible from the horseman's camp off Furnas-Oglesby road.
