This cache is located outside the cemetery in Grassy Lake.
Grassy Lake is a small hamlet on Highway #3. The name comes from the Blackfoot “moyi-kimi” which means “grassy waters” but it refers to the grassy prairies and not to water. Seen from a distance, the long, tall grass waving in the winds can be mistaken for open water. This former village reverted to a hamlet in 1996.
An interesting story relates to the naming of Grassy Lake. Directly north of Grassy Lake is an island in the Bow River. Just north of the Town of Bow Island (further east on the Highway) was a large slough, which in the spring of the year, was full of water, but in the summer the tall grass grew up as the water dried up, thereby becoming a grassy lake. When the name signs were being thrown off the train, the two names were mixed up. Therefore, Grassy Lake became Bow Island and Bow Island became Grassy Lake.
