Your journey to this cache can be done from the green trail
system. Be prepared for a good hike though this beautifully wooded
park that is dotted with several lakes. The wildlife abounds here
so be on the watch for all kinds.
One type of wildlife is be especially on the look out for the
the Massasauga Rattlesnake. I don't wish to alarm anyone about the
danger of having a confrontation with one of these snakes. Many of
us have walked the trails in this area many times and I've never
heard of anyone crossing paths with a Massasauga Rattlesnake. But
an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure so I've provided a
few links if you want to learn to more about these snakes. Remember
that these snakes are protected in Michigan so do not harm them.
