Geocache Description:

Somewhere along the nature trail

After a short drive beyond Lake Lure on Hwy 74, bear right at the fork onto Hwy 9, and you will come to Donald Ross Nature Trail Park on the left. It's right across the street from a large, well-known grocery chain.

Parking is obvious. This is a new nature trail park, located in Lake Lure. It is still under construction, and you will see lots of work in progress as they clear dead wood, and define the trails.

Your first decision.

Your first decision
Shortly after walking into the entrance, you will come to a fork in the path. This will be your first decision. To find THIS cache, bear right on Piney Hill Trail, and continue to its end. Turn left onto Creekside Trail, and the cache is a few feet to the right of Creekside Trail. Follow your GPS. Or, if you prefer, you can take the left path (Dogwood Trail) to find our other cache in the park, Solitude In The Woods. Since both trails terminate at Creekside trail at the other end, either choice will lead you to both caches. Finding both caches will result in you completing a "loop" hike of approx. .5 mile.

Enjoy the trails and being "In The Woods at Lake Lure," and if you are lucky, you might see some wildlife.

The cache container is an ammo can with a rather tight fitting lid. Please be sure it is resealed tightly, and rehidden completely when you leave. Also, remember that animals and woodland critters have very sensitive noses, so please do not leave any food or scented items in the cache. Thanks!
