Cache #7 on the BPRD Geocaching Passport
Welcome to Hay Creek Trail
The 5-mile shared-use trail provides recreational and educational opportunities throughout Burleigh County. It acts as a corridor providing access to cultural and recreational facilities, including the performing arts space at Sleepy Hollow Park, Pebble Creek Golf Course, and Missouri Valley Complex. The trail winds through a native creek area enhanced by environmental management practices, which preserve the natural stream bed and provide stormwater management. The trail weaves through both residential and commercial developments in eastern Bismarck, as it is “connecting people to places” – our recreational trail development theme. Hay Creek Trail allows users access to recreational, educational and environmental experiences along its path. In addition, this trail allows users to enjoy a wide range of activities, including biking and wildlife observation.
Bismarck Parks and Recreation District (BPRD) has partnered with the North Dakota Geocaching Association (NDGCA) and Bismarck-Mandan Area Geocachers to establish 12 geocaching sites within BPRD’s system of parks and trails.
To participate in the BPRD Geocache Challenge, take a passport from the container or get one in advance by printing it or picking it up from the park office during normal business hours. Match the hole punch to the coordinating number on the passport. Once you have found all 12 of the park caches, return to BPRD office at 400 E. Front Ave., Bismarck, to claim your prize!
Remember to place the container back exactly where you found it for the next visitor to enjoy!
