County park in the Van Buren County Northpoint Conservation Area.
Rolling trails lead to Lake Michigan over forested dunes. Some
steep climbs, but on good trails. Cache is less than 1/2 mile from
trailhead. Lake Michigan is a just over the dune. The one by the
tree is not the cache.
This is a beautiful area located in the dunes along the Lake
Michigan shoreline a few miles south of South Haven, Michigan. The
trail and beech are in a county park located in the Van Buren
County Northpoint Conservation Area less than a mile from the Van
Buren State Park. The trails leading into the dunes have been
crossed by many a scout over the years. Local scouts of all ages
hold fond memories of hikes, games, and Scouting ceremonies at
Northpoint. Please practice cache in carry out during your visit.
The original waypoint will take you to the trailhead and
parking. Be sure to keep this waypoint in your GPS because there
are several trails running through the woods and finding your way
out can be tricky. The beech can be found at N42° 20.540 /
W086° 18.241. It is about .35 mi. from the trailhead. The cache
use to be there until it was muggled. New cache is 42 20.540N and
086 18.234W.
It seems as though the muggels returned the original cache to
the beech. I have yet to pick it up. New cache is in better shape
and a little to the left.
