Geocache Description:

This cache is placed as part of the 2009 Geocaching Adventure, a geocaching game placed by MiGO members as a tribute to the Metroparks Geocaching Adventure series. In order to complete the 2009 Geocaching Adventure, you will need to find the 12 caches hidden in the different Metroparks. For links to all of the cache web pages Click Here.

Inside the cover of each Geocache you will find two words. These are to be placed on the appropriate spaces of a crossword puzzle found on the Geocaching Adventure 2009 Brochure found here.  We will be holding a geocachers picnic at Indian Springs Metropark on September 12th.  Watch the Geocaching Adventure 2009 Web site for more details.

Wait this isn't the Ospry Trail! You are correct. After discussion with the intrepretors at Stony Creek Metropark it was determined that the original plan for cache placement was not feasible. As a result the cache was placed along the Nature Trails. It is important to highlight that Stony Creek Metropark is directly involved in the conservation of native Michigan Wildflowers and as a result this cache was not able to be placed along the Osprey Trails. Please be aware of your surroundings as you walk through the Nature Trails. There are so many wonderful birds and wildflowers along this path.

Now onto the history of Stony Creek Metropark. Stony Creek Metropark was developed on 124 parcels of land. Originally there were no lakes present here. The 2 lakes were developed by building 2 dams. Approximately 600 acres were cleared for the development of the 2 lakes. Additionally there is a Nature Center at Stony Creek Metropark. The Nature Center recently underwent a new construction project. The original Nature Center was a mansion type residence. The new Nature Center opened in 2007. Make sure you stop by the the a Nature Center today to take in more history about Stony Creek Metropark.
