Welcome to the Washtenaw County Parks 2021 Geocaching Adventure! This year, eight geocaches (and one challenge cache!) await you on our properties. Your mission is to find them, note the code words listed inside each cache, and, once you have found all eight, submit your complete list of caches and related code words to parks@washtenaw.org. Geocachers who complete our adventure will receive a special collectible. The FTF for the entire series receives a special prize. Let the adventure begin!
DeVine Preserve is a woodland gem tucked right alongside Scio Township's Liberty Road. It is 157 acres with 1.83 miles of trail. Wetlands make up the majority of the site (be aware this property can be very muddy seasonally – but is mainly flat terrain) and surround a small upland woodland in the southernmost portion of the site along Liberty. From the trailhead at the parking area, two loop trails wind through the woods. The east loop connects with a seasonal trail that takes visitors out into the wetlands and old fields in the northern areas of the preserve. Large bur oak and hop-hornbeam trees are notable here. This property is flush with plenty of wild birds and flowers making your visit even more enjoyable. As with most WCPARC preserves, no dogs are allowed on the property. Please ensure that the cache is properly camouflaged when you replace it.
