This search will bring you along the trail southeast of Alexander Lake in Panola Mountain State Park. The cache is located just off the Rockdale River Trail. Enjoy the scenery as you hike or bike these trails.

The Rockdale River Trail can be strenuous at times, so be sure to carry plenty of water. Please re-hide the cache carefully so others can enjoy the experience as well.


Pine trees play an important role in the landscape of Panola Mountain State Park. Several species grow throughout the park, with loblolly pine being one of the most common. These tall, straight trees can reach heights of up to 100 feet, giving the forest its distinctive character.

Beyond their appearance, pine trees provide shelter and food for a wide variety of wildlife, including birds, squirrels, and deer. Their fallen needles create a soft forest floor that helps protect the soil and retain moisture.

The fresh scent of pine adds to the peaceful outdoor experience, and the sound of wind moving through the trees makes this area especially calming. It is an ideal place to slow down, enjoy the surroundings, and appreciate the natural balance of the park.
