Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series of geocaches placed for the Haunted Hollow IX event (GC766B4) on 8/19/2017 at Sleepy Hollow State Park. The theme for this year's event is Michigan's State Parks.


A day use park along a secluded strip of Lake Michigan shoreline, Saugatuck Dunes State Park offers 1,000 acres of land with two and a half miles of shoreline. The Lake Michigan beach is a two-thirds mile hike from the picnic parking area. In addition, the park has fresh water coastal dunes that are over 200 feet tall. The park's terrain varies from steep slopes to rolling hills. The park, located in Allegan County, is relatively undeveloped. The land for Saugatuck Dunes was acquired in 1971 from the Augustinian Order, who used the buildings as a seminary.

The park's major attractions are the long sandy beaches and the 300-acre natural area, which contains a coastal dune system, as well as three endangered plant species. Nature enthusiasts, birdwatchers and hikers are the predominant day users.

The cache is a medium snaplock container hidden in a typical way.

Sleepy Hollow is a State Park, so either a Michigan DNR Recreation Passport or a fee is required to enter the park in a motor vehicle.

Please also be aware that hunting is allowed in this park certain times of the year, so please be careful and dress appropriately when hunting is allowed.
