This cache is located on the walking trail that connects to the Gail's Trails system. You will see a nearby retention pond that is a popular fishing spot for many during the summer months. With a wide range of weather conditions year-around, including a long rainy season that can bring 70+ inches of rain annually, Florida’s retention ponds play an important role in the well-being of the state’s geography.
The primary purpose of a retention pond is to collect runoff from surrounding higher elevation areas. They have become a common fixture around residential developments, and are so effective that they are often required when building new structures, parking lots, and roads.
