This ammo-can cache is located in the transition zone between Bayhead habitat (moist soil/big trees) and Oak Scrub habitat (sandy/dry/short oaks). The scrub habitat in this area had a controlled burn in early 2015, which greatly opened it up.
This state park has a $2.00 entrance fee.
The Geocache is placed with the permission of Carla Kappmeyer-Sherwin of the Florida Park Service and Highlands Hammock State Park, which oversees Lake June Scrub State Park.
From the FPS Lake June Scrub SP Website:
Lake June-in-Winter Scrub State Park is a quiet 845-acre preserve that provides protection for sand scrub, "Florida's desert," one of the state's most endangered natural communities. Some of Florida's rarest and most imperiled plant and animal species, including the Florida scrub-jay, Florida scrub lizard, Florida mouse, gopher tortoise, and the Eastern indigo snake are found here. Ospreys and bald eagles are frequently sighted along the three miles of lakefront, and white-tailed deer, bobcat, and black bear are occasionally seen. Acreage consists primarily of scrub, scrubby flatwoods, and bayhead. This relatively new park is best suited for those seeking a remote wilderness experience, bird watching and nature study. Amenities are few, but the natural experience is exceptional. Visitors can hike along the white sugar sand firelanes, walk a half-mile nature trail, fish from the lake shore, or launch a lightweight canoe or kayak onto the lake. A picnic area has a shelter with tables, but no grill. The park is located on the west side of Lake June-in-Winter. It is just a ten minute drive west from the town of Lake Placid, and approximately 30 minutes from Highlands Hammock State Park. It is approximately twelve miles south of Sebring off U.S. Highway 27. Travel U.S. 27 to County Road 621, turn west and drive approximately four miles to Daffodil Road. Continue driving south on Daffodil for approximately two miles to the park entrance.
