Geocache Description:

The cache is located on the largest island in Cranberry Lake. This is the only reason for the high dificulty.

You will (obviously) need a boat to get to this cache. If you bring your own, there's a state boat launch located on Columbian Rd. at N 44 13.204' / W 74 50.847'. You can rent boats or canoes, or catch the water taxi from Emporium Marina in town at N 44 13.304' / W 74 50.173'.

If your boat has a motor, I would recommend landing at N 44 10.115' / W 74 49.449' as the water is quite deep until just before shore. This spot is also pretty sheltered from the wind. If you're coming by canoe or kayak, you could pull in anywhere on the island.

Once you're on the island, there's a little bushwhacking to be done. There's a faint trail around parts of the perimeter of the island, but no real trails into the interior.
