Regular cache located on the nature trail of Dade Battlefield Historic State Park
This cache is located inside the Dade Battlefield Historic State Park. There is a nominal fee to enter the park, but the park it's self is well worth it, and the fee helps to keep the park up and running. Park hours are from 8a.m. until sunset. Please do not enter the park after hours.
Every January, under the oaks of Dade Battlefield State Park, history lovers gather to commemorate the battle that started the Second Seminole War. On December 28, 1835, Indian warriors ambushed 108 U.S. soldiers at this site, and only three soldiers survived. The 80-acre park protects not only a historic battlefield, but also the natural communities as they existed during the war. As you stroll the half-mile trail through pine flatwoods, keep your eyes peeled for gopher tortoises, woodpeckers, songbirds, hawks or indigo snakes. The amenities of Dade Battlefield include a playground, picnic area with covered shelters and recreation hall. The park's visitor center provides information and displays about the historic battle, as well as a 12 minute video history of the battle This Land, These Men.
