Stump Lake is a great place to hang out and enjoy the scenic views, or do a little fishing (with a proper license) or some hiking. The Erie Trail runs along nearly the entire perimeter of the lake, offering beautiful views of the water and woods, and occasionally some wildlife as well. Please be careful as you hike this trail as there are several holes along the way that have been caused by strange drainage conditions. Watch your footing so you don't take a misstep and twist an ankle.
As you hunt for the cache, which is a regular size lock & lock container, look for the remains of many small beaver-chewed trees in the area. This section of the lake also holds hidden evidence of the glacier that covered northeastern Ohio about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. The fine rock specimens that help camo the cache were found nearby. These rocks should not be removed as they are the property of Punderson State Park.
Please use caution when entering and exiting the parking lot. The driveway is a single lane of grass and gravel, so you may need to wait for another car to exit before you can enter. The lot holds only four or five cars at a time, but it never seems to be very crowded.
Don't forget to check the inside of the cache lid for the coordinates to the Joker Micro cache (GC64B94)!
Punderson State Park is open to the public from 6 am to 11 pm. While caching after dark is allowed, please be sure to exit Punderson by 11 pm when the park closes.
