Welcome to the Lake
Renwick Preserve-Turtle Lake Access.
.
This is a redux of the original Budde lake Cache. (Click here if you want to check out the original cache page.) The cache location was compromised by muggle beavers. Yes, I said beavers. The critters decided to take down the tree cover in the original spot, so I had to relocate to a new spot. It is the exact same container. I took it home, cleaned it up and stuffed it to the top with BC awareness swag. (As of 7/2014 only a few stickers of the BC Awareness swag remains) PLEASE note...the terrain difficulty has increased. It may be difficult to get to this depending on the weather...i.e. snow/ice/rain.
Finders of the previous cache are welcome to come get it again for another smiley.
Please rehide better than found!
This preserve features year round fishing (shoreline), a 2.9 mile paved bike/hiking path, and picnic areas. There is ample paved parking and seasonal restrooms onsite. This area is adjacent on the west to the Lake Renwick Heron Rookery Nature Preserve. During non-mating season (mid August-Feb) the preserve paths are connected via the railroad underpass. You might see birds of all sorts in the area. I have seen plenty of other wildlife as well...deer, beavers (muggle beavers), groundhogs and chipmunks...just to name a few.
Please do NOT attempt this by parking on Lockport Road. It is not safe!
This cache has a permanent visitor. There is a Breast Cancer Awareness Geocoin with it's tracking number in the cache for all visitors to discover and get a really cool icon just for visiting the cache and logging the coin. TB2Z7YE (note: This is just the reference number. It CANNOT be logged with this number).
