Geocache Description:


Blue Line Geocachers Logo




This cache is one of a series of caches placed on the Raquette Lake - South Inlet. This cache series was designed as a water access only cache series (canoes/kayaks). This entire series can be completed in a 1/2 day trip. To complete the series, Its about a 2 mile (each way) very leisurely paddle, with no current. If your into birding, there are many birds here. We heard more than we saw, and we brought no binos with us. The birds we were lucky enough to see where 1.) Hooded Mergansers, 2.) Loons, 3.) Great Blue Heron, 4.) Mallards, and 5.) Redwing Blackbirds. In addition, we seen some deer and some sign of Moose browsing off the arrowhead water plants in the water.

Once you reach the cacades (little falls), pull out at the waymark "Landing" and follow the trail on the left side of the river to the dam and then the cache. The trail is marked with blue NYS DEC Foot Trail markers on the trees.



The cache is a 30 cal ammo can and is located at an historic dam & sleuce gate used to power the Great Camp Sagamore. If you find it, please replace it as found so no muggles visiting the dam find it.
