Geocache Description:

Exchange Club Island
This cache was originally part of the 2013 JaxParks Challenge. Since Geocaching and parks kind of go hand in hand, we decided to keep this cache around for you to continue to enjoy.
Cache Description: This cache is located along the SW tip of exchange club island, accessible only by boat. ~2 mile roundtrip if putting in at the Arlington Boat Ramp (N 30 20.024 W 081 36.714). Fantastic view of the Matthews and Hart Bridge at the GZ. Make sure to watch your step carefully as there are lots of rocks, oysters, and thorny plants. Please be sure to rehide the cache using the "natural" camo along the shoreline to help keep out of sight of the muggle fishermen who frequent the area. Cache is secured with a combination lock. Combination is 29-37-01 (Spin: R->L->R)
History of Exchange Club Island The Trustees of the Internal Improvement Fund of the State of Florida dedicated Exchange Club Island, formerly known as Mud Island, to the Board of County Commissioners of Duval County on October 8, 1956 for use and development as a public park. Exchange Island, located within the St. Johns River, close to downtown Jacksonville, occupies approximately 34 acres of land. The island, which averages approximately 350 feet in width and 2,400 feet in length, is oriented with its long axis in a north-south direction, parallel to the reach of the St. Johns River, in which it is located. The island is currently undeveloped.
