Geocache Description:

The cache can only be reached by boat, canoe, or kayak.  If traveling by canoe or kayak you need to be very experienced as you will have a 3 mile trip across open lake and river freighter traffic from the Raber boat launch.  The weather can change on this open water very quickly and proper boat size and knowledge is essential.


Lime Island State Park has nice cabins and platforms for tents that can be rented.  The island has nice hiking trails, excellent fishing, great wildlife viewing and more history than can you can imagine.  People have used the island for 6000 years.  Some of the old kilns date back over 200 years.  The islands recent history was for Lake Freighter refueling initially coal then latter using bunker fuel.  The island refueling was shut down 1982 and the families that lived and worked on the island were forced to move.   The island was sold to the state for $1.00 and is now a State Recreation Area and the Harbor a State Park.  There is poison Ivey all over the island so while hiking and exploring the island wear appropriate foot gear and clothing.

The cache is a regular size plastic jar in camo tape.  The terrain rating is because of the need for a boat to access the cache. The cache can be reached by hiking the Blue Trail or by walking the on the Beach.
