Prepare yourself for a spectacular view of the St Louis River from
Oldenburg Point. This will take you for a walk along the Ogantz
Trail to an overlook that far too few people have seen. You
don't need to take any stairways that lead you down to the
river!
The park has added a fun little puzzle that is easily solved on the
spot. If you think that is the end of the fun wait until you find
out what critter is the object of this Wildlife Safari.
The walk is easy, about three quarters of a mile round trip, which
brings you to a vista that opens at your feet and lifts your eyes
across the river valley. Enjoy.

Tips for Finding the Wild Safari Geocache
This park’s Wild Safari challenge will involve several
stops with a physical cache and puzzle to find at each one. The
final cache will contain the collectible critter card, logbook and
other geocache “treasures”. Bring paper, pencil and a
park map to help with the puzzles.
Difficulty – Since we’re a
demo-park we tried to design the challenge so that experienced
geocachers could have fun, but people new to the sport could still
participate. Extra clues and the puzzle answer are posted at each
stop to help out those who need them.
Physical Caches – You'll find a
physical object at each stop that will contain a puzzle to figure
out the coordinates to the next stop on your adventure. Look high
and low, put on your best explorer hat. You’ll need sharp
eyes and smart thinking to find it.
Text Hints to a stop – Each
cache will contain a text hint to your next stop if you need help
finding the general location.
“Need an Extra Clue” hint
– Each stop will also have an extra clue posted somewhere,
just in case you REALLY can’t find the physical cache.
WARNING: The hint is fairly specific, so only use it if you
must.
Key to the hints – all scrambled
clues use the same key.
Puzzle answer – If you need to
double check your answer OR if you just can’t figure the
puzzle out, the answer will always be hidden in the cache so you
can continue on. Look for the stop sign symbol.
