Geocache Description:

Hanging, small size camouflaged waterproof container. Log book & pencil inside. Some room for small trade items. The area of the cache is well lit at night, so it is available any day at any season of the year. But... Beware of extremely high muggle factor during the summer. Stealth required!


The "South State" boat launch at Higgins Lake is a unique area landmark. The lagoon / launch was constructed back in the mid-1950's as the need for a high volume boat launch at Higgins Lake was needed to accomodate the increasing boat traffic of vacationers.



Photos of the lagoon in the late 1950's.

The area today is at once a very serene place with specacular sunrises & sunsets throughout the year, or a major staging area for the huge "floatilla" boat parties during the summer weekends and holidays. It can go from supreme quiet with no-one-around one day to teeming with boats & people the next!


Typical busy summer weekend.

Party time at the S. State launch!

Beautiful Fall sunset at S. State Park lagoon.
