Geocache Description:


This cache is part of a series intended to highlight Wisconsin’s Rustic Roads (WRR). The Wisconsin Legislature established the Rustic Roads program in 1973 to help citizens and local units of government preserve what remains of Wisconsin's scenic, lightly traveled country roads.

Unique brown and yellow signs mark the routes of all officially designated Rustic Roads. These routes provide bikers, hikers, and motorists an opportunity to leisurely travel through some of Wisconsin's scenic countryside.

A Rustic Road may be dirt, gravel, or paved road, and can be one-way or two-way. It may also have bicycle or hiking paths adjacent to, or incorporated in, the roadway area. The maximum speed limit on a Rustic Road has been established by law at 45 mph. A speed limit as low as 30 mph may be established by the local governing authority.

For more information, or to see a map and descriptions of the Rustic Roads in Wisconsin, you can visit the website for the Department of Transportation.

Rustic Road 16, also known as Sandy Bay Road, is located in Manitowoc County. It has a paved surface and runs 5.2 miles along Lake Michigan from County V south to the corporate limits of Two Rivers.

This gently winding route runs through Point Beach State Forest and is bordered on either side by thick groves of deciduous and coniferous trees. Sandy Bay Road offers many glimpses of birds and other wildlife, as well as open vistas of natural sand dunes, including juniper bushes and other types of shrubbery.

This particular cache is a matchstick container and is located within 50 feet of the road. If you feel like stretching your legs a bit, take a walk on the nearby trail.

Please be respectful of private property and take care with retrieving and replacing the cache to save the experience for the next cacher. Happy hunting!
