Geocache Description:

State park sticker required ... Park hours are 6am to 11pm ... Cache can be done in light snow; Dogs are allowed at this location. Closest Parking: N43 29.793 W87 47.706

This cache is in an area open to hunting from mid-November to early-January.

This is a regular cache, clear plastic container, off the trail ... but also reveals information on HOW TO ACCESS the Mystery Cache called "Harrington: Risen to Power" (GC13FWY) ... the needed information is attached to the logbook of this cache ... this information has nothing to do with finding the location of the cache, but is vital to being able to get inside the cache container.

Due to heavy tree cover, we're giving multiple hints, but try it without using them all.

A bit of park history, but nothing to do with finding the cache ... In 1856 the steamship Niagra went down in Lake Michigan near here; it went down in a devastating fire, within minutes the center portion of the vessel was in flames making it impossible to travel or communicate between the bow and stern.
