This cache is located along the river on the way to Trapper Nelson's compound. You can pull your boat out at: N 26 59.256, W 080 09.447
The hike from there is a short easy one. Please do not remove the stamp and ink pad from the cache. There is a log book to sign and or stamp with your own stamp as well as some trade items.

The Loxahatchee River Canoe Trail is officially designated as part of Florida’s Statewide System of Greenways and Trails. This is also the first river in Florida designated as a National Wild and Scenic River. The coffee-colored Loxahatchee meanders through a subtropical river swamp. The Seminole’s named the river “Loxahatchee”, which means river of turtles. Bald cypress, pond apple, orchid, and fern line the bank. Heron and osprey fly overhead. Wildlife to watch include otter, raccoon, alligator, bobcat and, as the river’s name suggests, turtles basking in the sun. Along the trail in the state park is Trapper Nelson’s cabin, an interpretive site where you can learn about this interesting character.

I found this cache while on a 7 mile, 7 cache hike around Trapper Nelson's former "Stomping Grounds". It was a great day for hiking around and geocaching! Temps were in the mid 60s, and there was a light breeze blowing.
I saw lots of wildlife, and lots of signs of the troublesome feral pigs that are here too.

TFTC!

I'M TIRED OF PEOPLE USING ME! THIS IS SUCH A THANKLESS JOB.

I did some hiking with my kayaking shoes. The one shoe had a slit down the middle of the bottom. I kept getting dirt in my shoe.
I saw from Google Earth that I can hike from here to get the "On the Fence" one. I found it with no trouble. Thanks -footTRAX
