Entrance into Wisconsin State Parks requires a pass. Either a one-day pass or an annual pass can be purchased at the park or online at https://dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/parks/admission
Located in Kinnickinnic State Park. Take the main park road all the way to the end where you’ll find ample parking (see coordinates below). From here, walk down the access road/trail to the bottom. The hike will be more pleasant and will give you good access to the cache. Regular size cache that should be accessible most times of year. The trail going down to the beach (and river) is multi-use.
This is a great spot for a picnic in the summer, with plenty of picnic tables, room to play, and a nice beach on the St. Croix River. If you’re coming via watercraft, you can park your craft on the sand near the beach. To the south of the beach is the Kinni Delta area, which is a great place to play in the sand. There is also a great trail system at the top of this park, so be sure to check them out.
Enjoy the area!
Mississippi and Chippewa Rivers Biome
The Driftless Region serves as home to these two rivers, and many, many more, and is in a deciduous forest biome. Most of this part of southwestern Wisconsin was not touched by the last glaciers and displays a very rugged landscape dominated by limestone bluffs rising above the two main rivers. Valleys carved by smaller rivers and streams abound, but anything resembling a lake is the result of human intervention. The predominant vegetation is mixed hardwoods such as oak, aspen, and maples. With the abundant spring fed streams in every valley, the trout fishing in this biome is world class. The big river is one of the main flyways for bird migration and plays host to birds using that flyway, including huge concentrations of Tundra Swans in the spring and fall. Timber Rattlesnakes are timid venomous snakes that inhabit those rocky bluffs.
