This is an incredible little spot that has undergone some amazing changes since the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It literally grew out of the nearby Olympic Village construction! Great views here so relax and watch all that happens on, around and in the busy waterway. Often Eagles will perch atop the Island's trees and herring are once again spawning in the shallow waters around this Island.

Getting on to this Island might require some fancy footwork. You can step, hop, skip or jump to, on and across each of the strategically placed flat rocks or take your time walking on the rounded and looser stones. Pathways on the Island are clearly marked so please stay on them.

This is not a beach nor a playground area so children also need to stay on the paths. The Seawall paths that pass by the Island are level asphalt.

Cache has room for small trade items only. Please rehide carefully, gently and stealthfully.
