Back To Front Page

 

A new all-access geocaching trail is available at Coffee Creek Watershed Preserve in Chesterton.

This 13 point of interest, self-guided tour of the northwest corner of the preserve is on brick pavers and boardwalk and is accessible for everyone, including those in a wheelchair.

Brochures are available at the informational sign near the entrance arch which offers guidance on the 1.2 mile loop. Stops at interpretative signs offer information on the wetlands, woodlands and prairies of the preserve. The family friendly trail invites guests to explore, unwind and enjoy the wild flowers, pond and creek within the preserve.

Guests will learn how, working with neighbors in storm water management practices and low impact development (LID), the preserve helps to keep the creek healthy.

Those using GPS coordinates through geocaching.com and a free phone app, can use the clues to find a final container or cache.
