The park, established in 1986, comprises 305 acres on the Missouri River in North St. Louis County. The Lewis & Clark Interpretive Trail is a 2.7 mile multi-purpose trail which includes prairie, wetland, and woodland habitats. The history of the area is rich beginning in 1805 when it was established as the first United States Military installation west of the Mississippi River. Many of the structures observed along the trail were built by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. Today, as a St. Louis County Park, it is a peaceful place to enjoy the great outdoors.
This cache should be an easy find near parking to get you started on a great adventure around the park. Enjoy!
Park hours are 8 a.m. to one half hour past official sunset. The park shares property with a state facility, so there is a guard gate at the entrance of the property. Sign in as a park visitor.

Special permission to hide caches in St. Louis County parks is NOT needed as long as the Groundspeak rules are followed. "Blanket Permission" has been worked out in advance with the park service. DO NOT CALL THE PARK as they cannot handle the calls. The Groundspeak cache reviewer does need to know exactly how and where the caches are hidden and what type of containers are used. The geocaching liaisons will notify the park service of new caches. Remember NO AMMO BOXES or PVC PIPE caches. |
