Geocache Description:

Be prepared for a short (about 1500 feet), typically invigorating paddle to this simple cache on Bealls Island. Our experience with these rocky waters suggests the enjoyment level is much higher when the river height measured at Edwards Ferry is 4+ feet. Just sayin'... Nothing fancy. Just another fun trek on the water with a goal!

Plan before you go!

Please note the "Dangerous Area" attribute. Riverbend Park is just upstream from Great Falls, a class 5+ whitewater. In order to paddle safely here, adhere to park warnings about the river conditions.
