You will follow a nicely mowed trail to the South East section of White Water Canyon. Permission to place this cache granted by Larry Gullet, Director of the Jones County Conservation Board. Remember that you assume all responsabilty and risk when geocaching. Once close to GZ you may have to cross a small water way. A couple natural bridges may assist you. The nearby bluffs may play tricks with your GPS so you may want to stay on the trail until your GPS points directly left or right.
This cache will bring you to the South East section of White Water Canyon, this section is know as Lost Canyon. Bridging the lines between Dubuque, Jackson and Jones counties, Whitewater Canyon Wildlife Area is one of the jewels in the Dubuque County & Jones County Conservation Board system. This 419 acre area is open for public hunting during state designated hunting seasons so please wear your orange when necessary. It is also a favorite with hikers, wildlife-watchers, and anglers dipping a line in Whitewater Creek. During periods of sufficient water, it is also floated by canoer's and kayaker's. Winter provides areas to snowshoe and cross-country ski. One of only three true canyons in the State of Iowa, the walls of Whitewater provide a lesson in the state's geology taking one back 450 million years to a time when what is now Iowa was under the sea. Rare plants and animals are also sheltered in the various natural communities found on the property so remember to take only pictures and leave only footprints.
Operating hours are 6:30 am until 10:30 pm year-round.
