The Emmet County Water Quest Geo-trail will take participants to both famous and obscure places in Emmet County to learn about locations and people that made the county famous.
This cache is part of the Emmet County Water Quest Geo-Trail. When discovering the “wet” historic places in Emmet County each cache will provide a specific answer to a question on the passport. Information and the passport can be downloaded from the Emmet County web site

East Park at Bay Harbor was developed in the mid-1990s in an agreement with the Bay Harbor Company and Resort Township, to provide public recreation opportunities along this stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline just outside the Petoskey near the Fairgrounds. East Park has 2,500 feet of Lake Michigan frontage, much of which has been reclaimed from its previous state as cement kiln dust piles. A nonmotorized trail, the Little Traverse Wheelway, provides access to natural resources and scenic views and is accessible at East Park, which is located off Quarry Road. A covered pavilion is available for event reservations through Resort Township. East Park provides an unparalleled, sweeping view of the Little Traverse Bay basin, Petoskey, Petoskey State Park and Harbor Springs and Harbor Point.
