Geocache Description:


Don't go to the posted coordinates, as there is nothing there.

This is an interactive four-part adventure/hiking series inspired by Star Wars!  It is best done as a group. The hike is entirely on trails except when getting the actual physical geocaches. All four geocaches are in close proximity to the trail.

To prepare for the adventure, you will need to download ahead of time a wherigo cartridge on your device (Instructions):


Short URL for the cartridge: https://tinyurl.com/maytheforce4


The adventure starts at the trail head/parking lot indicated on the cache page. You have two options:

  1. Do Part 1 by itself. In this case, it will require a 0.9 mile round trip from the parking lot. It can be done in 30 mins.
  2. Do the whole series (parts 1, 2, 3 and 4). It will commit you to a 4.2 mile round trip from the parking lot. The whole series will lead you on the lake trail and the woodland trail loops (see Inks Lake trail map). You should estimate about 2 to 3 hours to complete.

You have the option to complete Part 1 first and return back later to finish the series. You will be given a code that will allow you to restart at the beginning of Part 2. The second hike will still be 4.2 miles.

Have fun, enjoy the adventure and bring your inner Jedi self!! Taking pictures is encouraged!


  • If you have any issues with the cartridge, the fastest way is to reach me is through the message center (not through email).
  • Cache placement approved by the Park interpreter and permit on file at the Park Headquarters. Please support our State Parks, an entrance permit is required to complete this series.
