Visitors will need to enter the Nature Center to solve this puzzle, so make sure you visit during the hours that it is open to the public. The summer hours are 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM every day, and during the school year the building is open from 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM Mon-Fri, and 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM on the weekends. If you are not sure what the hours will be the day you plan to come please feel free to call 586-781-9113 to talk to the nature center staff. The Nature Center is closed only on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Years Day.
Entrance into the nature center is free; however there is a vehicle entry fee to get into the park: $5 per vehicle per day, $25 for an annual pass, and $15 senior annual pass.
This cache is placed by the staff of Stony Creek Nature Center, and will initially be stocked with a nice selection of Lake Superior Agates, which were collected on the Lake Superior shore, and then polished and mounted by the Nature Center Staff.
Note: After finding the cache, if you have any questions about the “hiding place” please feel free to email UselessPickles. Thanks!
