Geocache Description:



Mutli cache tour within the Lower Hillsborough Wilderness Preserve.


Six to seven glorious miles of trekking (bushwhacking) through the swamp. At times this will be completely dry. But, beware it won’t always be so. Best to understand what caching in this swamp is all about before venturing out. The first two stages are within 500 feet of a trail, that is if you want to use a trail. No trail after stage 2. Along the loop you should encounter a few creek crossings, but no river crossings are required. There could be some nice views of the Hillsborough River along the way. Terrain rating of 4.5 is based on average conditions for this area, however at times it will definitely be a terrain 5. At least one stage will be submerged during high water.

Bring an ample supply of drinking water, cell phone and a responsible friend. The final cache is closer to parking than stage one. HINT: all stages are located at something somewhat unique. Each stage including the final is attached to something. PLEASE re-attach in their proper places. No need to destroy any vegetation or any other thing natural. All stages are visible if you are in the right place and looking in the right direction.

Enjoy, be safe.
