Geocache Description:


This cache is placed on Big Oak Trail at Highlands Hammock State Park

The park is open from 8 am until sunset, 365 days a year.

A state park entrance fee is required.

 

Highlands Hammock is one of the finest examples of early grass-roots public support for environmental preservation.  The concept of the park was inspired by a March 1928 letter published in the Sebring American by Dr. F. H. Newell of the U.S. Department of the Interior.  "It is my belief that you should make special efforts to see to it that this beauty spot is preserved and made known to your winter visitors as well as the citizens of your state." 

Please leave the letterbox stamp and inkpad in the cache!
