Geocache Description:


Located near a new bridge that crosses the Willow River, which starts the new Nelson Farm Trail. You can access this cache off the purple Trout Brook Trail, which starts near the nature center. A nice walk along the river to GZ. A camo'd mayo jar awaits.

Daily or yearly park sticker required (daily available at parking area). Park hours are 6am-11pm. During cross-country ski season, please keep off the groomed trails. There is no hunting in this part of the park, but there is hunting allowed just across the bridge.

Have fun!
