TREKKING TRAVERSE
TRAILS
The Sand Lakes are located in the Pere Marquette State Forest.
Motorized vehicles are prohibited, making this area a great place
to watch wildlife, hike, bike, or cross country ski. It has five
marl lakes surrounded by rolling hills of oak-pine forest. The
sediments at the bottom of marl lakes contain a lot of calcium
carbonate deposited by glaciers. Several of the lakes are more than
40 feet deep and managed for trout. Lake #1 has rainbow trout, Lake
#2 has brook trout. An extensive 11 mile trail system allows
visitors to explore the lakes and surrounding area on foot, skis,
or bike.
It is not necessary to
jump through the sticker/pamphlet hoops to log this
cache.
We got the idea for our Trekking Traverse Trails series from a
similar series in Florida. As a reward for the first 50 who wish
one and who complete the series, we have created a Path Tag on
which is the Traverse City logo. To acquire a tag, stop at the
Traverse City Visitors Center(
GC17HZ4), and pick up a free Trekking Traverse Trails
brochure.
In each cache container you will find a sticker for that cache.
Paste each of the ten stickers in the brochure, mail it in, and we
will sent you your tag.
