A short and sweet cache not far from parking and a nice bridge to cross the creek. In the winter, there is a nice sledding hill here and a nearby fire ring. You might need to use a little stealth here at times, but most of the time it'll be pretty quiet. Cache is a small PB jar and accessible any time of year.
Park is open 6am-10pm and requires a daily or yearly pass. More information on Nugget Lake County Park is below. Have fun!
The Geocache Notification Form has been submitted to the land manager at the Baldwin DNR office of the Wisconsin DNR.
