Geocache Description:


This cache has been placed along the route of the historic and scenic Red Cedar State Trail.

It has been written that when the wealth of the land was lumber, the Red Cedar River was one of the great water highways that carried logs to a growing nation. This 14.5-mile biking and hiking trail follows the banks of the river on an old rail road bed from Menomonie through the historic lumber town of Downsville, to the great Chippewa River Valley where it connects with the Chippewa River State Trail in the Dunnville Wildlife Area. The trail is packed limestone and a series of ten bridges which pass through a panorama of woodlands, prairies and soaring sandstone cliffs. Wildlife abounds, including deer, wild turkey, red fox, an abundance of song birds and the majestic Bald Eagle.

It is expected that all geocachers visiting the area observe all the user rules. These rules include, but are not limited to, bike riders trail fee, dogs allowed on an 8' long, max., leash and access time of 6 am to 11 pm daily.
