Welcome to Bluefield Preserve
These caches are destined to be the loneliest caches in St Lucie County! The cache is located at the Southeast corner of the preserve and is 6 miles from parking!
Hike , Bike, or horse is the only way to this cache. There are a series of trails that will lead you to within a few feet of the cache. Study the trail guides here: Bluefield Brochure
Also study Google Earth, the final 1.3 mile trail is not pictured on their brochure! The final leg is a continuation of the yellow trail at the SE corner of the yellow loop.
Bring lots of water, a major portion of the journey is not shaded. there is a lot of beauty and history throughout the preserve. Take the time to study the brochure and you can pick up a hard copy at the parking area Kiosk. The trail map will be very valuable while on the trails.
