Located at Leroy Percy State Park near Hollandale, MS. There is a
$2 dollar entrance fee.
The oldest of Mississippi’s state parks, Leroy Percy is
characterized by artesian springs, cypress trees, and ancient oaks
dripping with Spanish moss. Leroy Percy is the only state park
featuring a wildlife preserve. The seasonal pursuit of deer,
squirrel, turkey, duck, and dove beckons to hunters in search of an
unspoiled hunting area away from the crowd. Leroy Percy is also
known for its alligator population--visitors can safely observe the
scaly reptiles from two observation towers over their hot artesian
water home.
Logical parking at N 33 09.920 W 090 56.183. The cache is found on
the Bayou Trail. The trail head is located to the east of the
parking coordinates near the old Interpretive Center. Unfortunately
the center is closed, so please be aware of the "Do not enter"
signs.
The cache is located a little over 1/2 miles from the beginning of
the trail. This is roughly half the distance of the trail. If you
continue along the trail you will come out at the Alligator pond.
The cache container is a camoflauged .30 caliber ammo box. There is
poison ivy in the area. The mosquito population is quite large - so
make sure you bring plenty of DEET.
