There are two miles of hiking trails that are accessible to the public.
Trails leading through the State Nature Preserve offer a rare look into the pristine habitats of hundreds of plants that have survived the ice age. In addition to the diverse plant and wildlife environment this 95-acre complex offers two picnic shelters and restrooms, a playground, a sand volleyball court, horseshoe pit, athletic fields and a concession stand.
This cache was inspired by a chat with park employees last fall. They were very excited about their trail-clearing machine FINALLY being fixed, declaring that trails that have not been clear for YEARS finally would be accessible.
This cache is being called Pride Rock because of an adventurous run that senior cross country girls always took underclassmen on (belly crawl under thorns, bushwack, twists and turns, etc). You'd think you were going somewhere really cool, only to end on a huge mound of dirt overlooking the high school. With clear trails, it just won't be the same.
