This gives the location of 4 caves in this area. Fisher, Indian, Sheep, & Lone Hill Onyx.
This is a 4 stage multi. Two 35 mm film canisters, 1 magnetic key holder, and the final being a container with misc. goodies. Log book, little figurines, a few toys, antennea ball, etc.
The first 3 waypoints are located in Meramec State Park.
Two waypoints are along Walking Fern Trail. This trail is .5 miles long. It is steep in some areas. Trail is rated moderate. PLEASE stay on the trail. DO NOT CUT ACROSS OR CLIMB!!
All containers are right on side of the trail, not off in the woods. SO PLEASE STAY ON THE TRAIL. The only way we could place these on Fern Trail was for them to be accesible from the trail. The park naturalist doesn't want people wandering off the trail. There is certain vegitation that grows along fern trail they don't want destroyed.
You must leave Meramec State Park to find the 4th and final. Just a few miles away in Meramec Conservation Area. The trail that you take here is paved and is 1.5 miles long - easy walk.
We hope you enjoy these caves.
Also as a note 3 of the caves you can explore at your own risk. If you want to do this you must take flashlights.
Fisher Cave is seasonal and is open only at certain times of the year. Guided tours are given for a small fee. There is a billboard in front of Fisher Cave with all the info about this cave there.
This is also good for photos. So take a camera along to get some good pictures.
Enjoy the caves!!
Just a note we wouldn't recommend the first part in Meramec State Park for small kids or pregnant cachers, since Fern Trail is steep in some areas and also there are many steps.
The second half at Meramec Conservation area is easy, paved trail.
I would think this would take about an hour or two depending on how fast you hike. (let us know on this, we didn't time it)
While speaking with the Meramec Park naturalist he did mention it would be nice for cachers to pick up any trash they see while seeking out geocaches.
