Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Riverfront

Popular for fisherman because it provides shore access to the Fox River, as well as to a small inlet, you can catch largemouth bass, yellow perch, bluegill, channel catfish, Northern pike, pumpkinseed, warmouth, bowfin, green sunfish and carp.  A trail connects the site to the Silver Creek Conservation Area.


The 2015 Cache Your Way program is over but the cache remains for the fun of it!

About

This site is part of a larger complex that is broken down into 3 parks (Hickory Grove Highlands, Hickory Grove Riverfront and Lyons Prairie & Marsh) that are all interconnected.  Within these sites you can rent out one of three shelters for your next event, camp in the small group campground, hike, fish, cross country ski, geocache or horseback ride. 

Cache Your Way Question

Most frogs lay their eggs in water.  Tree frogs have a slightly different way of doing it.  Tree frogs lay their eggs in a tree hanging over water.  Why do they do this?

About the Hide

I have marked the trail head you want to use.  There are two trailheads off the parking lot.  Take the wrong one and you will find yourself headed towards the Highlands park!  The containter is small and camoed but really close to the trail.
