Be prepared! You will need hip waders or kayaks to get to this cache. If you choose to meet this challenge without the proper equipment, you will get wet! Depending on the time of the year, the water that needs to be traversed may be deeper than others. The rocks are extremely slippery! Be careful!
You must wear some type of footwear. Flip-flops are not advised due to the zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha), a small freshwater mussel native to Russia and introduced to this country through the ballasts of ships. The white beaches that you traverse to get to this cache are the shells of this invasive mussel.
Enjoy the beautiful view on this uninhabited island! No one is around except for you and the birds. Keep your eyes open for nesting and migratory birds. This is a bird watchers paradise! Lake Erie water snakes and other wildlife may be seen, depending on the time of year you choose to accept this adventure.
As long as you are almost to the opposite end of this isolated island, stroll along the east shore and find the glacial grooves not many people have had the opportunity to view.
This is a part of the Scheef East Point Nature Preserve property. Please stay on the primitive walking paths. This is a litter-free area. Open dawn to dusk. No bushwhacking, please!!
