The Mad River Gorge & Nature Preserve is one of Clark County's newest parks and a rock-climber's paradise, hosting more than 40 routes on dolomite cliffs rising as high as 50-ft on both the North and South banks of the Mad River just outside of Springfield, and is the largest outdoor rock-climbing site in Ohio.
I placed nine traditional caches here in conjunction with the initial CITO Event on October 20th, and they are numbered in order of a suggested route that forms a ~2.5 mile loop through the park with minimal backtracking, starting at the park entrance (#1). No steep or significant climbing is required for any of them although a couple have minor bushwhacking and terrain, depending on vegetation.
The GPS bounce tends to be strong around here due to the terrain, so I performed a couple of waypoint averages on each cache location.
Parking coordinates are included as a waypoint.
After a rainfall, it can be very muddy so be prepared. Please replace each container carefully back to its hiding spot.
