Fel Pro Conservation Area
Parking at N42 14.052 W088 13.548
You are looking for a clear plastic container
DO NOT use the early morning parking lot. It is closed due to construction and it is illegal to use the lot or the trail.
The question is related to the cache otherwise I would change the name!! While placing this cache yesterday there was a pair of cranes hanging around. Could not get too close to the pair (probably because Morgan, the geocaching dog, doesnt understand quiet!!!) but they were making a lot of noise!!!
Opened in 2000, this site has the most diverse activities available to the public. 2.25 miles of hiking trails (1 mi of which is paved), fishing, 2 shelters and has opportunities for horseshoes, basketball, volleyball, softball and Frisbee golf on a first come first serve basis (bring your own equipment).
The Fel Pro site was once a farm containing an orchard. You can still see the remnants in the many apple and pear trees throughout. The 3 main ponds were built to raise coy. Since then, much of the site has begun to be restored back to a more natural state. Now you can see a variety of birds and wildlife in the area.
