This forest preserve has more to offer than at first glance - Warning - 6/8/2013: Tick alert. I raised the difficulty to a 3 due to the ridiculous amount of ticks. Wear repellent, long pants and check often.
"In 2015, the Forest Preserve District will be celebrating our 100th Anniversary. We are currently celebrating the 100th Anniversary with a Geocaching Extravaganza by featuring new and existing caches around the county. Each of these caches will contain a unique sticker and/or a passport booklet from the Forest Preserve District. Geocachers will find these caches, and place one sticker from the cache into their passport. Once they collect five of the eight caches, they can turn their book in at select Forest Preserve Visitor Centers for a prize which will be a Forest Preserve District Geocoin. We plan on featuring new and current caches each year, which will lead to new coins until the 100th Anniversary in 2015. Currently the 2012 and 2013 passports and geocoins are still available. Please contact geocache@dupageforest.com for more information."
What a great forest preserve to explore. When you come in off the road, it does not look like much but once you set off on foot, off the trail or on the beaten path you discover a lot more to this great area. It's not only for fishing. There are a lot of great bird watching / photography opportunities. Enjoy this cache, probably want to wear good boots, it gets a bit marshy once you go exploring.
