Geocache Description:


The area currently known as Madison County was once untouched forested wilderness with scattered Delaware, who called themselves Lenni Lenape, villages along Wapi-hanne, the White River. The map shows Wapi-hanne, the area’s only major waterway, and the well-established Indian trail along its north bank.

Your trek, like that of earlier inhabitants, can be via trail or river. The cache is approximately 4 inches by 3 inches by 2 inches.

Parking to begin your hike or ride is located at at N 40° 05.988' W 085° 38.063' and is open April through October from 7:30 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. and November through March from 7:30 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.

From the cache a trail along the bank of the river leads to the Fishin’ Hole cache located one mile northwest.
