Geocache Description:

The biggest dot of them all...

Welcome to Feather Island! This is the first of three similar caches in the Loch Raven Reservoir. For this one, a boat is a MUST. No swimming is allowed and it'd be a pretty long one anyway.

Thus, you can rent a motorboat at the nearby fishing center for around 25 dollars, or a paddle boat for 15. With the motor it'll take you about 45 minutes to reach this secluded spot. After words, try to find the others.

Note: a big thank you to Avonlunz for helping me find the name for this place.

This message from Baltimore City Government:
You MUST rent a boat for this cache - boats that are not specifically permitted to go on the City of Baltimore Reservoirs *only* are strictly forbidden, and the boater could be ticketed or their boat seized. There are Watershed Rangers out and on patrol. The reason for all of this (i.e. needing a special permit for going on the CoB reservoirs) is to prevent zebra mussel infestation - which can ruin the pipelines for the reservoirs, if they're introduced by foreign boats. (You can view al of the regulations about that here - (visit link) )
