Welcome to the Peghorn Nature Park and Trail! The trail begins at the Trailhead Center and consists of two loop trails through wetlands. This cache is located on the Green Trail. We have another cache (GC4CPA5 Sam's Cache) located on the Orange Trail you may want to do while you're here. Boardwalks have been installed in some areas. This is Florida's nature preserved, so you may still encounter some mud after heavy rains. Insect repellent is a must!!!
While searching for the perfect location for a new cache, we stumbled upon this little-known treasure in St. Cloud. The cache is named for our granddaughter, Remy. We've found that she has a very keen geo-sense, and so we let her pick the GZ for this cache. We think she found the perfect spot! All we can say is "Good Luck"! Please remember to replace cache EXACTLY as found.
In 1992, the City of St. Cloud realized that eco-heritage was important to a community and theirs would be lost in the historical pages if action was not taken. Through the Parks and Recreation Department, a plan was created and the Peghorn Nature Park and Trail evolved. The Peghorn Nature Park and Trail protects the habitat of many native plants and animals. The name Peghorn is derived form the cattle raised in the area in the 1900s; the cattle had unique wood peg shaped horns. Much of the surrounding area has been developed, leaving behind a small piece of native Florida wetland. The 58 acre passive park takes its visitors on a journey beginning in the late 1800s to modern day. A cracker village consisting of a replica of an old wooden schoolhouse that once stood in St. Cloud, a cannery, a blacksmith shed, a barn, vegetable and flower gardens and a “natural playground” preserves the disappearing local heritage. The wetland and two trails continue to preserve the environment and teach us about the "real" Florida. Stop in at the Trail Head Center for some free pamphlets about the benefits and how-to’s of gardening with native plants and a schedule of gardening classes offered by the Osceola County Extension Services Program.
You are looking for a small lock-n-lock container that contains a logbook and traditional swag items including geocoins, trackables, miscellaneous items and an envelope containing a special prize for the FTF.
The park is open Monday through Saturday, from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm and closed on Sundays and major holidays. Caching may be done only during regular hours of operation. Admission to the park is free. Please park in the paved parking lot next door to the Trail Head Center at the coordinates provided.
This is the first cache placed with the approval of the City of St. Cloud Parks and Recreation Department. Please thank the staff for their support of geocaching and approval to place this cache.
