Geocache Description:

Must use boat to get to location of cache. Use the dock located at N4417.751 W7611.561. The depth at the outer end of the dock is good, don't go past the middle if draft is more than 4 ft. Located on Aubrey Island in the St. Lawrence Islands National Park. Nearest launch ramp is Gananoque Municipal Marina. Docking fee at the island is $.50/ft for daytime docking. Valid at most of the other park islands, so make a day of it.

The paths on this island are well-marked and terrain is somewhat hilly. There is a large picnic shelter nearby.

If you already own a boat, it is presumed that you are familiar with boat handling, marine navigation, and rules of the waterways, Nevertheless, if you've never boated in the 1000 Islands before, you will find that this area presents its own unique set of chanllenges, As with all boating you will want to make sure that your boat is in good operating condition and all standard safety procedures are being followed. Canadian Hydrographic Chart 1437 will be the appropriate map to use, River currents in the area can be deceiving, and it is not unusual to have 20ft of water under your transom while your bow is sitting on rock, The difficulty rating is based on requiring a boat and navigating the 1000 Islands waterways.
