Geocache Description:

This cache was originally placed for the the First State Challenge 2016 sponsored by Delaware Geocachers! Although the challenge has ended, this cache is still available to be found!

FSC-2016 Burton Island

Cache Details:
Cache is a small lock-n-lock attached to a host.
The walk is about 2/3 mile round trip.
Possibility of encountering BUGS!
Bring your own pen/pencil because the cache does NOT have room for one.

To get to the parking, turn right off Rt 1 (if you're heading south) at the signs for the Indian River Marina and Delaware Seashore State Park, just before the bridge. At the yield sign, bear right. You'll pass the main park office, Hammerhead's restaurant and several marina buildings on the way. There are a few signs for "Burton Island Nature Trail" and "Dry Stack Parking". Follow the short dirt road past the last marina building and you're at the trailhead parking.

NOTE: There is NO access or parking fee!

Description:
Burton’s Island is the largest island in an archipelago of small islands that separates Rehoboth Bay from Indian River Bay, just behind the barrier beach of Delaware Seashore State Park.

Delaware State Parks (www.destateparks.com) describes Burton Island Trail:
This loop trail begins at the causeway on the north end of the marina and travels over a packed and loose sandy surface through upland forests and over elevated boardwalks. The boardwalks provide views of the Indian River Bay, the Rehoboth Bay, and of the open salt marsh. The island features an inland bay habitat that supports a variety of birds, plants, fish, reptiles, and mammals.

Please note: Please stay on the trail while visiting the island. The island provides important nesting grounds for the Diamondback Terrapin. Trail use is recommended during the cooler months of the year.
