I have put out several caches at this park in hopes that paying the entry fee might not seem so bad. Permission for placing caches has been obtained from the park manager.
Crawford State Park is located 9 miles north of Girard on Highway 7. The 150 acre lake was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps on the Drywood Creek in the early 1930's. Shortly thereafter, a fish hatchery was built below the dam. In 1965, Crawford State Park was established.
The best place to park for this cache is at 37 38.816 N and 094 48.648 W. Directly across the road is the trailhead for a bike trail you can follow most of the way to the cache.
The cache is in an ammo box and contains various items for trade.
The walk on the bike trail is less than 5 minutes. The cache is approximately 30 feet off the trail, and the brush is fairly thin. There is also some uneven terrain.
