Geocache Description:

A fairly easy hike though it probably isn't stroller accessible.

This is hidden in a beautiful park with many wildflowers, some rare. Please be careful of the flora when hunting for this cache. It will not require bushwhacking. Suggested parking 39 44.271 N 083 49.731 W, although you could park at the lot just outside of the village of Cedarville also. Be sure to check out the falls while you are there!Some history of the park, the Indian Mound is believed to be the memorial to or a lookout from an ancient Adena Indian community. Built sometime between 500 B.C. and 100 A.D., the mound has never been officially excavated. The mound was originally 30-40 feet high and 144 feet in diameter; however, the structure has been destroyed by erosion both environmental and man-made. It is speculated that the Adena Indians may have used the meadow and the mound as a place for prayer, reflection and attempts to communicate with the dead.Also within this park is a log house that dates to 1814, a gorge and wetlands and the Pollock Works, an earthen enclosure thought to have been constructed by the Hopewell Indians between 500 B.C. and 100 A.D. Pick up a park brochure when you're there for more information.
