This Geocache is one of several containers of various sizes hidden near a multi-use path in the Town of Duck, NC. The Town of Duck does not allow public street parking which means a 4 hour walk or 50 minute bicycle ride along the 9 mile round trip is required to locate all 31.

Parking coordinates are provided near the center of the cache series since The Town of Duck does not allow parking along any of its roads and Town Police enforce the "No Parking" policy. There may be places to park near several cache locations along the route depending on the time of day and the total local population but none are guaranteed and permission to park there has not been granted. Please at all times be alert to nearby traffic as several caches are in a downtown business area and some are close to a very busy roadway. You should also be alert for Muggles at virtually all hours.

Please remember to close container lids and replace each in its secured position. Also, stealth is of the utmost importance here all year long and is especially essential during the summer tourist season. Keep in mind that if your search activities are observed by any Muggles (and there will be many at all hours of the day) this cache is certain to wander off.

Duck Town Park property was purchased in two sections. The first in the fall of 2003 from a large grocery chain and the second parcel in the summer of 2006 from a private family. The Park has four distinct vegetative communities; a maritime deciduous forest, maritime evergreen forest, a willow swamp, and a marsh. A walking trail constructed with a material surface that meets current accessibility standards stretches some 1,699 linear feet (0.32 miles) through the 11 acre park.

A nearby boardwalk accessible from Town Park and other locations throughout the village extends 0.78 miles (1.26 km) along Currituck Sound. Construction included solar lighting, information sign, benches, trash cans and other amenities. It has a total of 3,386 linear feet (4,149 linear feet including the northern boat pier and other access points). The boardwalk is ten feet wide and is held up by approximately 752 pilings embedded a minimum of eight feet into the ground. There are approximately 12,547 pickets in the boardwalk railings, 247 lights and 5 solar stations to power the lights.

Please park only at designated parking locations. Town officials granted permission for this cache placement. If you enjoyed the hunt and have time it might not hurt to stop by Town Hall or the Police Department and thank them for allowing this placement.
