Rockhound Paradise Traditional Cache

Located inside of the South Higgins Lake State Park day-use area beach. Parking is available in the park with short walking distance to cache, recreation passport or day pass required for vehicle entry. Alternately, McKenzie street road-end is also very close to the cache location with limited parking, and no pass is required.. Cache can also be reached by water as it is placed along the lakeshore.
​Cache is a small container with room for trading items.

The location of this cache is an often overlooked section of the park featuring a natural shoreline & old cedars along the banks. It is just off of the foot-path nature trail.

Interestingly, the shoreline here is very rocky- the result of the last retreating glacier that created the lake some 12,000 years ago that left a small moraine here along the shore as it retreated. There are numerous glacial rocks that have been tumbled into fairly round shapes by the waves of the lakeshore, some of them are beloved Petoskey Stones or occasional gemstones if you search well enough!
​There is a small patch of wild rice reeds growing nearby as well.

This cache is placed for the "South Higgins Meet & Greet" event Sept 23, '17.
