Geocache Description:


Cache is located along the Silverbrook Trail. On the opposite side of the trail from where the cache is located, you will find some old abandoned buildings which used to be part of the old copper mine offices. All of the old structures are fenced off for safety, but it’s worth wandering up there and checking out the remnants of days gone by. Regular size cache with room for swag and trackables.

Be sure to continue down the trail to the south and check out the Silverbrook falls. Depending on the time of year, it’s a very scenic location. Daily or yearly park sticker required. Park hours are 6am-11pm. During cross-country ski season, please keep off the groomed trails. There is hunting allowed in parts of the park during the 9-day deer season at the end of November and a few days in the spring during turkey hunting. Just be aware of your surroundings. Have fun!
