Prairie Creek Park did not have a cache and it needs one.
[ You can now park in the Prairie Creek Marina Cafe parking lot N 36.21.259 W 094.03.043. The trek to the cache is only about .3 mile.]
This is a regular cache in an ammo can. The original contents are:
A variety of lanyards, mostly for game fans. Very desirable for gamers. We should make this a lanyard exchange. Bring new ones and swap if you like.
Multiple toys (kid friendly)
Inflatable ball
Shoppers Reward Card Travel Bug
GeoCoin
This is a very popular location in the spring and summer. More than 22000 visits last year. Includes boating, fishing, swimming, picnics, camping and hiking.

This is near the trailhead of the Rim Rock Nature Trail. The arrow is on a tree (very small) to the right of the restrooms. Stay on the trail and it is a fairly easy hike, round trip 30-40 minutes. The cache is off the trail a short but rugged distance. While the hike is kid friendly, there are some dangerous locations for falling. Remember, this is Arkansas and be prepared for hitchhikers (ticks).
I received approval from the ranger who stated that caching is allowed, but don't bother the campers. And there is a day use fee in all Corp of Engineer parks. If you come very early or late it is ok, and you might not have to pay, but a visit to the park is worth the token fee. If you have a yearly pass, it is good at all Corp parks in Arkansas.
There are 2 other caches in the area; Prairie Creek Micro II and Gateway to Beaver Lake Prairie Creek.
Congratulations to Skyhawk Star FTF!
