Geocache Description:

WELCOME TO THE CENTRAL HARDWOODS SCENIC TRAIL WEST between Fenton Campground and the backyard of the Golden Pond Visitor Center. From Fenton, your journey will take you east on the trail about 0.3 miles. From GPVC its a 3.7 mile hike. You will be looking for a clear preformed tube with white cap. It contains a log book and pencil.

This is the western extension of Land Between the Lakes' Central Hardwoods Scenic (formerly Greenway) Trail between the Golden Pond Visitor Center and Fenton Campgrpund. This portion of the trail is compacted gravel which makes a smooth walking/biking path. Because the path also follows the contours of the terrain, its not as easy as the paved portion. But its not as hard as the other dirt trails throughout LBL. The western portion of the trail meanders through upland mixed hardwood forest for 4.0 mile. At mile 2.0 you will find the midpoint of  western section, with parking and another cache nearby. Be sure to note the excellent engineering of the trail.  If you are game, you can take the North-South trail for an extended day-hike up to a multi-day backpacking trip.

Parking is available at the Golden Pond Visitor Center, the Golden Pond Trailhead Parking lot, English Hill Trailhead, and at Fenton Campground.
