Geocache Description:


Wood Dale County Park

Wood Dale County Park

Swampy Cache

This cache is in the swamp area of Wood Dale park. 

To avoid crossing private property you should park in the parking lot on Prospect Ave.

I have placed two caches in this park. The other one is a bit more family friendly. Since I wouldn't bring a small child in here I didn't put many toy type items in the cache initially. 

This is a great park in Bergen county. There is a play area, picnic area and a small lake to fish in (license necessary). On the east side of the park there are rest rooms available. You will find a large amount of folks here walking and jogging.

 

Since there are no trails here you should take care of the surrounding area while searching for this cache. To get the coordinates for this cache I took 10 waypoints over multiple days and averaged them.

The cache is a "Kernbob" Ammo can 

 

Warning:

The streams in this swamp only appear to be inches deep. You will sink deeply into the mud at the bottom though! I  was sinking past my knees when I pulled myself out!
