CAM 2020 - Greenwell State Park
Greenwell is a 596-acre State Park located on the Patuxent River in St. Mary's County, Maryland. In 1971, John Phillip Greenwell, Jr. and his sister, Mary Wallace Greenwell, donated their 166.6 acre farm to the State of Maryland for use as a public park for everyone. The state subsequently purchased the adjacent 430-acre Bond property and joined the two to form the existing park. The park is managed in partnership with The Greenwell Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing outdoor accessible recreation. The park has an honor system, with service charges ($3/ MD vehicles and $5/ out of state vehicles) benefiting the Greenwell Foundation to help operate the park.
You may follow either the orange trail or the brown trail to the cache. The orange trail is in the front of the park and will be about a 5/10-mile walk. The brown trail is in the back of the park with a 3/10-mile walk. The cache is off of the South-East side of the brown trail about 35 feet into the woods. You may only search for this cache from dawn til dusk.
