Geocache Description:


Cold Cache Crew 2026 presents...

Frozen Waterfalls - Minneopa Falls

Located in Minnesota, the waterfalls freeze at Minneopa in the pattern in which they fall. While it is always dangerous to get up close and personal to a frozen waterfall, this is a great place to do so. Note that there is always a risk of falling ice chunks, as the majority of the ice is just hanging off the top of the river bed above. Always be careful and never venture onto frozen ice if there is any doubt of safety or its thickness. Make sure to explore the limestone rock surrounding the falls and read the names and messages carved in there.

The Cache

Welcome to East Paris Nature Park! This cache is just about a quarter mile walk from the parking waypoint. Watch for muggles before retrieving the cache, or you may get an odd look or two. Please be careful, as it can be slippery depending on the snow/ice situation. You do not need to go all the way down to the riverbed to retrieve it, but please be careful either way.

Maybe you should solve the nearby Multi and Mystery CCC caches before going for this one, as depending on which way you go, at least one of them is probably on your way.
