Geocache Description:

Easy walk up hill or enjoy a bike ride on the Wichita Falls Trail System.

Be careful of terrain. Lots of rock to climb over and plenty of places to hide a cache.

In 1909 a trolley line connected the city of Wichita Falls with the lake, which featured a recreational area including the three-story colonnade pavilion. The Lakeside Hotel burned in 1918 and was not rebuilt, the resort was popular for twenty years. Large crowds came on special days, and trains were run from towns including Fort Worth. In 1928 and 1929 the chamber of commerce sponsored carnivals. The lake subsequently declined as a resort, and the abandoned pavilion remained standing until 1955.
The cache is located on this site.
