This can be a park-n-grab cache or you can walk a 0.6 mile paved
trail to reach the cache. The container is SMALL, but not quite
micro-sized, so the few trade items that will fit must be very
small. Most travel bugs will not fit :-(
Please re-hide well as there are many muggles that walk right
by this spot.
If you walk the trail, there is parking at an entrance here: N38
50.656 W77 03.865 Also note that you are not allowed to enter the
wetlands on your left. There are also signs here describing this
habitat. The wetlands used to be a lake which appeared on old maps
(e.g. 1917 USGS map), but has since mostly dried up.

This is also easily reached on bike. The four mile run bike path
goes past here (actually on both sides of four mile run). You can
connect with the nearby Mt. Vernon Trail (along the Potomac) or
further to Arlington's network of trails (WO&D, Bluemont,
Custis). See
