Geocache Description:

Here’s a GREAT Metroparks cache highlighting a GREAT location that for no other reason other than geocaching, you may never see or even know it was here!

Lake Metroparks became responsible for the conservation management of the 5-acre South Island on the Chagrin River in Eastlake in December of 2009.

South Island — also known as Anchor Island — is situated opposite the Chagrin Lagoons Yacht Club. The parks system entered into a property management agreement with the Eastlake Port Authority. This has allowed the agency to do special programming since the island is not readily accessible. This island is an important migration route for many birds and holds a conservation easement to protect it from future development.

YOUR MISSION:

You may start at GC2B9R2 OR from anywhere on the river or Lake. Whichever way you choose, USE SAFE BOATING HABITS! Plan ahead and don’t hit the water without knowing what you are getting into. The BEST entry to the island is at the Northwest end of the island using the LANDING waypoint. Once you land and tie off, dive in for the cache. No bushwhacking as there are plenty of trails to use. Be mindful that there is plenty of birds on the island so do not be shocked if one hits you with some processed food!

First to Find is welcomed to the special hand stamped brass disc. Plenty of room for your Travel Bugs and other large swag items. Please re-hide as found and lock the lid on tight!

This is a park-owned cache on park property so observe park hours of dawn to dusk.
