Geocache Description:

A small cache to welcome you to a nice little park. This is a state park so a permit or day pass WILL be required.

Dead Timbers is a 200 acre area near Scribner on the Elkhorn River has 50 acres of water and offers primitive camping, picnicking, fishing and non powered boating. The area has 17 pads with 30-amp electrical hookups, primitive camping, drinking water and latrines.

Dead Timber lies amidst the oxbow waters of the Elkhorn River. A neighboring wildlife management area also provides opportunity for fishing, hunting and wildlife viewing.

Due to budget cuts, mowing routines in some park areas will be reduced and concentrated around holiday weekends. Not only in the primitive camp areas but possibly around the 17 camp pad areas with electricity. Plan for that possibility. You will need to pack your own trash out as well (CITO). However, water, electricity, and three restrooms will remain in service.

The new budget restrictions have opened an opportunity for the Nebraska Game and Parks to turn a lemon into lemon-aid. Almost half of the park has been turned into wildlife hunting and viewing, and now Geocaching! New nature blinds have been built for photography and watching opportunities. Others are located in the "open for hunting" areas for hunters to use during seasons. Many new hiking trails have been created to lead to these areas. The hunting and non-hunting areas are clearly posted. Please be careful in the hunting areas if hiking those trails during open seasons.

This is a state recreation area, so you WILL need a state park permit or day use permit to enter.

You will be looking for a camo pill bottle at this location. Don't forget to BYOP and if staying a bit to check out the park please practice CITO. Have fun and enjoy the wildlife!
