Geocache Description:


The cache is located in the Feather River Parkway, just north of the 10th Street bridge. As there is some standing water, circle around and approach the site from the east. The Park is currently closed due to levee repair, but we have permission to enter during an approved CITO event on Saturday, April 21st. The levee work should be completed in the next month or two.
