Geocache Description:

This cache is located near the trailhead across the street from parking for the Hickory Lake Scrub Trail in the Hickory Lake Preserve on the Lake Wales Ridge. The trail nearest to parking will not be reopened, but their is a trailhead and walk thru across the street from the parking area.

This unique site features several distinct ecosystems; ancient scrub, lakeshore, small stream, cutthroat seep and oak hammock. Wildlife on the preserve includes gopher tortoises, Florida scrub lizards and wading birds. The Hickory Lake Preserve is an excellent example of ancient Florida scrub habitat containing 13 rare plant and three threatened animal species. The site features a cutthroat grass seep, a plant so rare that it exits only in southern Polk and in northern Highlands County -- and no where else in the world. Polk County's Environmental Lands Program is receptive to caching. Please be respectful of this property, its vegetation & wildlife.

Please replace the cache as found.
