OLD KOSCHAK FARM Traditional Cache

Permission by DNR-Tower,MN

Hwy. 169 east of Ely,MN to Co. Rd. 88 (Grant McMahan Blvd) +- 1 miles to DNR sign for the OLD KOSCHAK FARM WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT AREA. Off road parking for a couple of cars. You will be walking on a grassy trail which can be wet and or muddy at times. The trail system has not been maintained- walk in and out to the left as you enter. It will be about a 20 minute walk round trip. Snow depth and location will prevent access to cache in winter.

I WILL DELETE ANY SPOILERS(PICTURES/LOGS) THAT INDICATE WHERE THE ACTUAL CACHE IS.

OLD KOSCHAK FARM The Koschaks were the original owners of this land. On May 8, 1952, this land became the SHAGAWA LAKE REARING POND. A pump system was used to take and return water to nearby Shagawa Lake to be used in a series of ponds for the rearing of fish before they were distributed to the various lakes. The rearing pond facility was dedicated “to the memory of game warden Joe Rozman for his efforts in conservation of our natural resources.” The fence that you park by now encloses a cedar tree plantation. The DNR has developed this land as a wildlife management and recreation area. Take a walk on the paths and enjoy.

You are looking for a small plastic thermos painted black. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OR LIGHTERS IN THE CONTAINER
