Fiddlers Creek Preserve is located across the street from Baldpate Mountain. The preserve trails travel through fields, woods, and along the bottom of a ravine. The open field is fenced in to protect the trees from the deer, so make sure to close the gates carefully when entering or exiting the gates.

Please stay on the trails, as caches are practically right on a trail or a few yards off. Pay attention to trail markers as leaf cover makes one trail, with several sets of steps, difficult to follow.
Stage 1 and stage 2 are small camo tube containers with coordinates only. The final stage is a lock & lock container.
