The cache is hidden the the Alligator Lake Recreation Area.
The Alligator Lake Recreation Area is open from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm.
More than 6 miles of hiking tucked into a small park just south of downtown Lake City.
In the city once called Alligator, first home of the University of Florida and named for a great chief of the Seminoles, Alligator Lake has long been a gathering place. South of downtown, restored from agricultural land to wetlands, this county park opened in 2002 with hiking as its primary recreational focus. Visitors can also enjoy the picnic area and playground, or launch a canoe or kayak into the wetlands for a close-up view of heron rookeries, but the big deal is the extensive network of hiking trails. Some start just behind the restrooms and playground, and offer short walks through the forest along the east side of the park. The longest loop, however, starts down at the canoe launch, and circles the impoundments along the lake.
