Sheffield Park Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

magtfplanner: In trying to replace this cache I discovered that, somehow, a cache has been hidden a mere 150' from the final. I could not find a way to repair this given the proximity of the other listing. Guess I have to send this one on its way out [:(]...

Geocache Description:


Sheffield Regional Park


This cache was originally part of the 2013 JaxParks Challenge.

Since Geocaching and parks kind of go hand in hand, we decided to keep this cache around for you to continue to enjoy.
Cache Description:
This is a 2 stage multi-cache. For the first stage you will need something that floats to reach the GZ and retrieve the coordinates to the final location. Pretty much anything that floats will work as long as it provides enough floatation to let you keep your GPS and writing pad/pen dry (inner-tube, floating lounge chair, boogie board, paddle board, kayak, canoe, etc...). It is about 800' from the launch at the sandy shore (N 30 28.002 W081 33.667) to the cache location. It is NOT recommended to swim to this location, especially from the nearby shore, as there are many underwater plants and deep mud that will try to drag you under.

Stage 2 is about a mile and a half round-trip hike from parking. Be sure to bring your camera as you are in store for a fantastic view along the way.

History of Sheffield Regional Park
Acquired in 2003, this 385 acre former dairy site is currently in design for a regional park. At final build out, the park will contain soccer fields, baseball and softball facilities, a community center and pool, skateboard park and trails. Two large ponds compliment the site and will be used for small boating and fishing activities.
