This search will bring you close to the historic Alexander Barn in Panola Mountain State Park. The cache is located in a wooded area near the barn, just off Rockdale River Trail near marker PM291.


The historic Alexander Barn is a reminder that, until relatively recently, this land along the PATH was an active farming landscape. Landscape architect Ed Alexander once owned much of the area between the South River and Alexander Lake before selling portions to expand Panola Mountain State Park.

This area can be a high-muggle zone at times, so stealth is required. Enjoy the scenery as you hike or bike these trails. From here, you can access multiple routes for an extended adventure. Be sure to bring plenty of water.

Alexander Barn exterior

The Alexander Barn at Panola Mountain State Park is a preserved early 20th-century structure originally built by the Alexander family, prominent landowners in the area. The barn reflects the agricultural history of the region and adds depth to the park’s cultural landscape.

Located near Alexander Lake, the barn was restored to reflect its original appearance. Built using local materials, it represents the vernacular architecture typical of rural Georgia during that era.
