Geocache Description:

Located in very pretty State Park. Small entry fee might be applicable although they might let you in to just look around. As always in wooded areas, watch for snakes, wild varmints, prickly vines and poison ivy. GPS signal could be affected by the tree foliage during warm months.

Cache is in a clear rubber container a little larger than a cigar box. Contains key rings, tape measure, colored reflectors, U.S. flag decal, logbook, brain stress reliever, jump rope, screwdrivers, mini clamps, mini story book, golf ball and tee, sea shells, mini coloring book w/crayons and a worry stone.

Figure out the name of the State Park, and find a map of the park here.

For a short hike, park vehicle near fishing pier and group picnic area on south side of lake.

For a long hike, park near the bathhouse on the north side of the lake and follow the trail around the lake (either direction). This will increase the difficulty a bit due to the terrain and length of hike.

Locate a fairly large, hollow-bottom tree. The cache is located within a 25 foot radius of the tree. Look high and low....
