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.


Silver Lake State Park is an almost 3,000-acre park in Oceana County along the Lake Michigan shoreline. This area includes both dune country and acres of mature forest. The dune ridges and valleys are mostly windblown sand and lack trees, scrub brush and dune grass. The dune area is sometimes compared to a desert. Silver Lake State Park contains more than four miles of Lake Michigan shoreline and boasts a large sandy beach.

In 1919, Carrie E. Mears donated 25 acres of land for park purposes. The park's boundary was dedicated in 1951 and a master plan was officially approved in 1964. Now, nearly 2,000 acres of sand dunes are available for exploration and hiking. One of the park's biggest draws is the 450-acre off-road vehicle area.

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.

Congrats to GHBuccaneers on winning the FTF!
