Geocache Description:

Cache is not at listed coordinates, this is the best place to park if you are going to hike the whole trail.


You’ve made it. Six of the other 14 caches placed around the lake have an index card with a number in the log bag that you will use for the final coordinates. Which ones? That’s for you to find out.

 N 35 46.ABC W 88 14.DEF

I hope you have as much fun searching for this series as I had placing it. This is my first time placing any cache so I decided to go big and do 15. I really like this area and love to hike the Cub Lake trail. The terrain and difficulty of this particular cache site is lower than posted but due to the long hike and multiple finds you need to make I bumped it up. If for any of the caches you think the difficulty needs to be adjusted please let me know- that was probably the hardest part. Once you hide a cache the spot seems so obvious… Don’t forget to bring your bathing suit to cool off after the hike.

This geocache is one in a series of 15 that I have placed along the Cub Lake Trail in Natchez Trace State Park located in Wildersville, Tennessee. Natchez Trace State Park is a 10,154 acre state park located within a 48,000 acre state forest and wildlife management area. Cub Lake is approximately 52 acres in size and the trail around it is approximately 5.8 miles long and considered moderate difficulty. There are approximately 13.5 miles of hiking trails in the park ranging and an overnight trail that is 40 miles long. Other activities at the park include swimming at Cub Lake, boating on various lakes, mountain biking, fishing, and horseback riding. There are also campgrounds and pavilions available for rental.

I would like to thank Walter Pope, park manager, for granting permission for these geocache hides. Please be respectful of the area and stay on the trails for as long as possible. Be sure to bring your boots if you do the whole trail, it can get muddy in sections.
