Geocache Description:

I encourage everyone to click on the map on the cache page and click on MapQuest Aerial or Esri World map. Either one of these gives you a really cool image of what Gull Point really looks like. It will also show you where the caches are in more detail. Zoom in and look closely and you see how the trial zig zags to avoid ponds and wetlands!

This cache is located on the tip of Gull Point Natural Area on Presque Isle State Park. It will take a mile and half one way to reach this cache although there are 4 other caches to find along the way. As you near closer to your destination you will notice that the trail has rope on either sides!

The area beyond the trail is a protected natural area and access is restricted from April 1st until November 30th.

DO NOT VENTURE OFF THE TRAIL! DO NOT TAKE SHORTCUTS!

Lake Erie has been labeled one of the most dangerous Great Lakes due to the strong winds and high waves that can develop in a short amount of time. This powerful force moves sand and other material in the direction of the wind and waves, sculpting Presque Isle into the peninsula visitors enjoy. Since the 1900’s the eastern end of the peninsula has been growing, this relatively new area has been named Gull Point, and consists approximately of 288 acres that is constantly changing, which is home to a variety of plants and animals. Today Gull Point continues to take shape with every wave, creating one of the most unique ecosystems in PA.

Once you get to the cache, you will be rewarded by an observation platform that gives you a beautiful view of the city of Erie across the Lake and the North Pier on Presque Isle. Please replace all cache hiding materials as you found them for the next cacher!
