FSC-2012 Wildlife Observation Tower (Little Creek)
(Thanks to MikeOtt for hiding this cache!)
Cache Details:
This is stop #20 on the Rt 9 Coastal Herritage Byway. NOTE: do not auto-navigate since the access roads may not show on your GPS. Enter Little Creek Wildlife Area from Rt 9 (Ref Waypoint (39D 08.709 75D 26.743) driving past the maintenance area. After about 0.3 miles the road changes to gravel. In about 0.8 miles you come to the parking area and must stop since road is gated past here.
It is about a 400 foot walk on the boardwalk to the observation Tower. The cache is on the ground, but you have come this far so why not climb the tower for some outstnding views

This can be an active hunting area, so after November 9 (start of shotgun season) visits must be limited to Sundays. Bow hunting can be occuring, but not near the observation tower. The cache was approved by Wayne Leham, Fish and Wildlife Regional Manager.

Description:
The Little Creek Wildlife Area, just south of town, protects 4500 acres of marshland and is used for hunting, fishing and crabbing. There are fifteen waterfowl blinds, three photographic blinds, an observation tower, a boardwalk and two boat ramps. One can also observe the impoundments which were built for mosquito control and other environmental purposes.
