Geocache Description:

This cache is located on the 1/2 mile loop trail which can be accessed from the main boardwalk trail. This small cache sits on a glacial kame which lies on the western part of the preserve. Please remain on the trails until near the cache site. Thanks to The Nature Conservancy for permission and help with the placement of this cache! Congrat's to ZIG7 for the FTF!

This 100-acre preserve is a bog with its floating sphagnum moss mat, a 7-acre kettle hole lake and an outstanding example of a glacially formed hill known as a kame. Brown's Lake Bog is one of the few remaining kettle hole peatlands in Ohio. The bog and surrounding 80 acres of lowland forest were purchased by The Nature Conservancy in 1966 and declared a National Natural Landmark in 1968.
