Cache is located on Little Traverse Conservancy Charles A. Ransom Nature Preserve. Look for cache off middle trail (trail maps on site) about 250ft.
Commanding one of the most spectacular views in northern Michigan, the Ransom Preserve is well worth a visit. The property, along with the manager’s residence (now removed), was donated in 1976 by Woodbury and Christiana Ransom in memory of their son. From its highest elevation of 320 feet above Lake Michigan, viewers can see much of western Charlevoix County, a broad expanse of Lake Michigan, four islands, and the distant Leelanau Peninsula on a clear day.
Preserve Size: 80 acres
Land Description:
A mix of open fields (providing scenic views) and northern Michigan hardwoods.
Trails:
From the parking area, you will find the trailhead to a 1½ mile trail system. The terrain is quite steep and hilly.
