After finding this cache, enjoy the .5 mile Cattail Trail. Accessed from the paved 0.25 mile picnic loop trail, this easy, 0.5 mile loop follows the edge of a peninsula along Mountain Island Lake. After passing through a mature hardwood forest containing tulip poplars, oaks, hickories, and sweetgum trees, the trail’s westernmost point culminates under the canopy of several large water oaks.
