Geocache Description:

Eqpahak (formerly Savage Island) was the traditional meeting place for the area First Nation groups and is still used at times in this way. It is the northern most point where there is noticable tidal activity.

Be sure to tie your boat as water levels do flucuate unexpectedly


Eqpahak Island is famous for it's fiddleheads in early spring. I'll be placing a series of caches on the island in hopes that more people will go canoeing or kayaking to find them. Walking on the island is made more difficult by the huge growth of fiddlehead ferns in the summer. All the caches must be placed high up to avoid the spring floods.

The trees on the island are massive.  The cache is hidden in the stub of a dead Elm tree, reached by a short walk.  There are deer on the island, we saw one with a fawn when we located the site.

Do not try to cross the ice in the winter as it is unsafe due to water level variations caused by the power dam.
