Logistics: If you visit during the Nature Center's open hours (8 am - 5 pm daily, closed most holidays), you can park a short distance from the cache. If you want to visit outside regular hours, you'll have to park farther away, outside Oxley Nature Center's main gate (the one with stone pillars.)

Remember, Mohawk Park's gates open at 7 am and close at 9 pm! On weekends, April 1 - October 31, you'll need to bring $2/vehicle to enter Mohawk Park, unless you are a member of Friends of Oxley Nature Center or Zoo Friends. Pets are not allowed on the Nature Center trails, but leashed ones can enjoy other parts of Mohawk Park (if you want to include a 4-legged geocacher, you might want to do Sus scrofa hominis instead: N 36 13.263', W 095 56.029' or Witches Necklace at N 36 12.762' W 095 53.818' or "Green" Country at N 36 12.956' W 095 53.506'.)

This cache made its debut at the 2003 Spring Fling, so there will be a few logs in the front of the logbook dating from that weekend. Wheelchair accessible. Be warned: mosquitoes can be ferocious in May and June!

Lunchtime Cache Poison Ivy Alert!

Kid Friendly Park curfew is 9 pm - 7 am

No Pets Allowed Fee area $2/vehicle Apr.-Oct.

Bicycles permitted only on paved roads in Mohawk Park
