Geocache Description:


This cache is located along the beautiful Des Plaines River Trail section in Wadsworth, Illinois. The free parking area is near the intersection of Wadsworth Rd. and Hwy. 41. The gate is open from 6:30 AM to sunset. The coordinates for parking are: N42 25.706 W087 56.156

Spanning nearly the entire length of Lake County, Illinois, this 31-mile multi-use trail runs from Russell Road to W. Riverside Drive in Lincolnshire. It picks up again at Estonian Lane and runs south to Lake Cook Road where it connects to Cook County Forest Preserve trails. The Des Plaines River Trail and Greenway now covers 7,800 acres and protects land along more than 85 percent of the river in Lake County, providing wildlife habitat, natural flood protection, and outdoor recreation opportunities. The Des Plaines River Trail is nearly complete and connects ten Forest Preserves with local parks and communities. Bridges and underpasses make it possible to travel most of the trail without crossing any major roads.

It is a somewhat short walk to the cache. Follow the trail East from the parking area. Go left (North) when the trail splits and cross Wadsworth Road. You are looking for a small 3" long camouflaged match container. Please bring a pen or pencil to sign the log. You won't have to bushwhack here. Look out for muggles on the trail, especially on the weekends.

Have a safe and fun journey!
