Please use designated parking areas located near at the north or south trailheads. South trailhead with parking is closest to cache and is located in the Waypoints section. Do not attempt to park along Dixboro Road to access this cache! Cache is about 0.25 miles from the South trailhead and 1.75 miles from the North trailhead.
Cache is located along the newly developed Matthaei Botanical Gardens Trail. Per the trail website, it is a paved hiking and biking path that connects the University of Michigan Matthaei Botanical Gardens with a network of trail systems throughout the area. The trail provides an important non-motorized link from the botanical gardens to Washtenaw County’s Parker Mill Park to the south, with connections to the regional Border-to-Border Trail, the local Gallup Park pathway, and beyond.
Many large, impressive trees can be viewed along the path. Nice area for a walk, run or bike trip.
