This cache is a Letterbox Hybrid. It is not located at the posted coordinates; rather, you will need to follow the following clues in order to find the cache:
The cache is located somewhere on Forestry Island. The posted coordinates are near the island; you can use these as a starting point for your journey. Paddle around the island and look for "the right channel". Note there are two meanings to this word; you need both meanings. The cache is directly across from one of the objects hinted at. Once you determine where that is, you'll need to park your vessel and enter the island. The cache is not more than a few feet from the shore, so don't go too deep in. You are looking through the brush for a large, long fallen tree with brown bark that is horizontal. This tree is broken in parts. Once you've located the long fallen tree, follow it until you find the cache, which is a very large container covered in camo tape and it has a square lid. It may be covered with a few pieces of bark but it is easily visible.
The container has two notebooks. One is the regular logbook for geocachers where you will sign your name; the other one is for stamps only. The cache was placed by two people therefore both of our personal stamps are in there - use these to stamp your own stamp notebook as well, but do not take the stamps out of the cache as they are not trading items.
The islands:
This cache is placed on Toronto Islands in a location that is only accessible by canoe or kayak. The islands are a great place to escape to, and you can go many places by canoe/kayak that are not accessible to people on foot. There is a lot of nature to be seen on the islands, including great blue herons, egrets, kingfishers, swans, cormorants, swallows, painted turtles, minks, beavers, muskrats, and in spring, baby ducklings, goslings, and cygnets. This is a good cache for older children and families, as you can spend a few hours (or the day!) exploring the island from a quieter and more peaceful perspective; even paddle on to a little nook all your own and have a nice picnic lunch away from the crowds.
How to get a boat:
If you don't have your own boat, you can rent one from the Boat house on the islands, a short walk after you get off the ferry. You can rent one even if you have limited paddling experience, as it is generally safe to paddle around the islands if you don't go out to the lake, but do make sure to stay out of the path of small tourist ferries and motor boats. Note: These rentals are only available from Victoria Day to Labour Day. Another rental place is the Harbourfront Canoe & Kayak Centre. You can rent a kayak on the mainland and cross the lake, or you can rent a canoe and they will shuttle you over to the island where their canoes are and you start from there and avoid the lake crossing. These rentals are available June through September, weather dependent.
Dangers:
Please watch out for large watercraft, and stay out of the area marked by white buoys - this is the island airport flight path, and the nearby Toronto Police boat will zoom right over to you if you so much as stray in! Always check the weather before you go out and make sure a storm isn't coming in or that high winds are called for. The terrain rating is a '5' only because you need a boat; there are no other real terrain difficulties with this cache.
