Pack Rat Falls can be hiked into from the Haw Creek Falls Area on Hwy 123 west of Pelsor about 12 miles. The cache can be hiked into starting from the Southeast end of the parking area and hiking south it is on the Ozark Highland Trail that runs through the area.
This is a rugged approximately 1.5 mile RT hike with no trail over ridges and along the creek. It may require crossing the creek a few times, my wife and I did when we hiked in to place the cache. I wouldn't recommend this with pre-teen children due to terrain difficulty.
The falls are beautiful, so enjoy the falls have a picnic in the area and if you aren't too tired explore the Ozark Highland Trails.
The cache (ammo can) is located about 100 feet ENE above the top of the falls and about 20 feet off a trail in some large rocks. Some alternate coordinates are : N 35° 40.366 W 093° 15.201, since reception is very spotty in this area. This cache was reposted to this revised location when it went missing in April 2004. The initial contains of the can are: digital watches, matchbox cars, and creepy animals.
Please enjoy the area, but hike in carefully.
