Geocache Description:


Explore Bays Mountain

Click on the link for Bays Mountain Park above to locate, download and print a trail map or pick one up inside the park Nature Center before heading out on your exploration. The park has many caches already in place. The bookmark list of Bays Mountain caches lists everything from traditionals, puzzles, multicaches, letterboxes, and earthcaches. The possibility of getting five different cache icons in one day is POSSIBLE!

THINGS TO KNOW:
  • There is a $4.00 entrance fee per car/truck per day.
  • The park offers a Nature Center and Herpetarium with public restrooms, various animal habitats, fee-based programs which include both a ropes course and a zip line, a planetarium, and a lake barge trip--all located near the parking lots.
  • While the park is open daily, (with exceptions for Christmas and New Year's Day) the park operating hours change seasonally and park gates are locked upon closing times.
  • All geocaches were placed using a Garmin 60CSx with at least 100 readings to average the coordinates--consider that at the time of the year when this geocache was placed, there was significant overhead foliage.
  • You will be sharing your exploration along Lake Road with mountain bikers and other hikers as your venture into a more remote section of the park. Telephone reception may be spotty.
  • There are various hazards which include black bears, venomous snakes, poison ivy and other critters which may or may not be a problem for you while on your adventure. Prepare accordingly.
  • At different times of the year, your trail may be wet or muddy.
  • Your dogs (on leashes) are welcome to explore with you on this road, but are not permitted in the animal enclosure areas. Look for the signs to indicate those areas.
  • No motorized vehicles are allowed anywhere in the park except on the paved roads leading to the parking lots.
  • Bring your own pen!
  • This cache and cache location has been placed with the full approval of the park director.
