Welcome to Oakland County's Polly Ann Power Trail. These caches are
placed with permission from the Polly Ann Trail Management Council.
Most of the caches are placed within a few feet of the trail and
should require no bushwhacking unless noted. Please use care to
leave as little impact on the vegetation as is possible. The trail
is open from dawn to dusk year round. Search only during open
hours.
The cache names have no significance on the cache placement or
container. They are named after some of the many lakes in Oakland
County.
The Polly Ann Trail is a 14.2 mile long, non-motorized trail
located in Oakland County Michigan in suburban Detroit.
The trail connects the communities of Orion Township, Oxford
Township, the Village of Oxford, Addison Township, and the Village
of Leonard. Our popular linear park utilizes the abandoned P.O.
& N. railroad corridor, and transverses through some of the
most beautiful untouched landscape in northern Oakland
County.
The Polly Ann Trail begins in Orion Township and continues
northeast through Oxford, Addison, and Leonard to the
Oakland-Lapeer county line at Bordman Road.
The trail surface is crushed aggregate and some asphalt surface in
densely populated areas. Motorized vehicles are prohibited. Dogs
should be leashed and under control. Do not litter or disturb
vegetation or wildlife. Hunting is not allowed. All users yield to
horses; cyclists yield to all other users. Helmets for riders are
not required, but are recommended. Please be courteous to your
fellow users and adjacent property owners.
There are public parking area options along the trail, especially
in Oxford and Orion Township. The Blanka Trailhead in Leonard is
the best place to park. It is large enough to accommodate horse
trailers and has a rest room. Please obey local ordinances and do
not park on private property.
