Welcome to the 8th Annual Metroparks Geocaching Adventure 2011, a
geocaching game placed by MiGO members in partnership with the
Huron-Clinton Metroparks. The theme for this year's adventure is
"Get Out and Play" In order to complete the series, you will need
to find the 11 caches hidden in the different Metroparks.
For links to all of the caches
in the series please see Click Here
Inside the cover of each Geocache you will find two words. These
are to be circled on a Word Search puzzle found on the Metroparks
Geocaching Adventure 2011 Brochure found
here . We will be holding a geocachers picnic at
Kensington Metropark on September 10. Watch the Metroparks
Geocaching Adventure 2011 Picnic Page for more details.
The cache is located less than 30 feet from the trail so
bushwhacking further than that is not necessary and is discouraged
to reduce impact on the environment. Please park at the coordinates
shown in the Waypoint table and start your walk at the Trail head
coordinates.

Just East of the cache, the Detroit River empties into Lake
Erie. During the prohibition era, the Detroit River was
better known as the "Whiskey River" due to the incredible amount of
illegal hooch that crossed over it from Canada.
Though the days of rum-runners, and dry laws are long over,
the mouth of Whiskey River and its delta provide countless
adventures here in the park, its marsh, and the nearby
islands.
Three miles of Lake Erie shoreline offer you exceptional views of
Sugar, Celeron, and numerous unnamed islands, as well as
spectacular fishing. The park's 18-hole golf course, its "Great
Wave" swimming pool, Marshlands Museum & Nature Center, boat
launches, and miles of nature trails offer great opportunities to
Get Out and Play!
