Geocache Description:

This cache is located in the Herman Vogler Conservation Area at the north edge of Rogers City. There are multiple caches in the park .

You will be hiking an old road that use to lead to the back of the property. It is mostly climax forest with only light under growth. Some bushwacking is needed but you still be able to make out the trail. The cache itself is a plastic container with camo-tape. 


If you are doing all the caches in the park, shoes that can handle wet areas may be needed, depending upon recent rain. Bug spray and a good hiking stick are also needed at times. The Herman Vogler Conservation Area trail system traces a path through a constantly changing blend of habitats that range from hardwood highlands to cedar thickets and marshes, all wrapped around the nine-acre Trout River Flooding. The HVCA is also home to a wide variety of wildlife. The multi-use area consists of 270 acres of public land, approximately one-third of which is within the city limits of Rogers City. The Trout River crosses the property for 3,500 feet, and several other small creeks, including the important brook trout nursery Hartwick Creek, feed the mainstream and the Flooding. Forests in the tract include ancient stands of cedar and mature hardwoods. The HVCA contains more than seven miles of trails, all used by hikers, XC skiers, bird watchers, hunters and other nature lovers. Be aware of hunting seasons from Sept 15 to March 31. The area is managed by the Presque Isle County Soil Conservation District as a conservation education & recreation area
