HHIX - Warren Woods State Park Traditional Cache

This cache is located just off one of the many trails located in Sleepy Hollow State Park. Most of the trails are well groomed and hard packed making a bike a great way to get to the caches in the area. Keep in mind during hunting season to be aware of hunters in the area. Hunting is allowed from September 15 until April 1st each year.

A 311-acre state park in Berrien County, Michigan, near the town of Three Oaks. It is leased by private owners to the state of Michigan.

Named for Edward Kirk Warren (1847-1919), the inventor of the featherbone corset (which replaced the whalebone corset with turkey bones and secured his fortune). Starting in 1879, Warren bought 150 acres of the woods and 250 acres of the dunes, setting it aside for preservation.

Home to the last climax beech-maple forest in Michigan, which occupies 200 acres. The virgin North American beech (Fagus grandifolia) and sugar maple (Acer saccharum) forest has specimens 125 feet tall and with girths greater than 5 feet  in diameter. The remaining area in the park consists of floodplain oak-hickory forest. Because of the size and age of the trees, and the rarity of the ecosystem, the area has been designated since 1967 as a National Natural Landmark.
