Welcome to the 2015 WGA Fall Picnic!

Pattison State Park will be the home of this years Fall Geocaching Picnic.  Why Pattison State Park? Every year we rotate our spring and fall picnics around the state. This year the fall picnic landed on the Northwest Quadrant. Pattison state park was one of the few places with enough room to support our large and ever growing group. Besides Pattison State Park being home of the state's highest waterfalls, Big Manitou, it is also wheelchair accessible.  Mixed in with the fall colors and 1436 acres to play on, Pattison will be an ideal place to explore as we gather for another WGA Fall Picnic.

*****Pattison State Park does require a state park admission sticker or daily pass to enter the park.*****
