Geocache Description:

Lake Washington County Park is on the NW corner of Lake Washington in LeSueur County, MN


Lake Washington County Park

Take a few hours and enjoy this wonderful little park.  So much to see.  The total trail system is only about 1.5 or 2 miles.  Also, don't forget to check out the bridge just to the east of the Learning Center.  The sign claims it is the last active bridge from the 1876 Dept. of Transportation still being used.  The way I read it that means it is the oldest active bridge in Minnesota.  Although it is not used by cars anymore, but by snowmobiles and hikers.

This cache is placed about 200 feet away from trail.  Please rehide it well as it is not a very dense underbrush area.  I found a nickel while picking up trash near the hide.  Maybe you could get so lucky too.

The cache is in a large, clear plastic tub.  Also you will find a bunch of old grocery bags to pick up trash with on the way out if you so choose.  

Originally placed in the cache you should find:

  • 1 Geocaching.com car window decal 
  • Matchbox rescue truck
  • Bubble Blower w/ bubbles 
  • 1 Geocache compasses/keychains 
  • 1 Geocaching patch
  • 1 Geocaching.com lapel pins
  • 1 MNGCA Button
  • 1 pack of Post-It Notes 
  • 1 small container of Tylenol 
  • 1 P-38 can opener
  • 1 small pocket knife
  • Notebook, pencils, sharpeners, etc.

There is a nice parking lot at N44°16.004'  W93°54.008'.
