Geocache Description:


This cache is part of the Manson GeoQuest. If you're participating in the GeoQuest, be sure to stamp your passport with the ink stamp inside this cache to verify your visit.

You know that Manson is on lovely Lake Chelan, but did you know there are four more lakes just over the hills from downtown?

This cache has one of the best panoramic views in the Manson area. You can see Roses Lake, Wapato Lake, and Dry Lake, plus Lake Chelan. These smaller lakes are surrounded by farms, orchards, and vineyards, and are great spots for fishing and water sports.

Enjoy the views, and feel free to have lunch at the nearby picnic table. This location and the cache are available at all times.

A bit further from town, you’ll find Antilon Lake, a beautiful spot with a campground by the water and plenty of hiking and ORV trails nearby. To get there, take Upper Joe Creek Road and continue on Grade Creek Road. The gravel road is an easy drive that any vehicle can do.


The Manson GeoQuest is a series of geocaches that showcases the beauty and recreational activities of this community on Lake Chelan.
