I've been hiking and biking the trails of Pocahontas State Park for years. Now it's time to spend some quality time exploring the waters of Swift Creek Lake. You must use a non-gas powered watercraft to access this cache, whether your own or one rented from the park for a very reasonable fee. Keep in mind that what goes downstream must come back upstream. Lots of turtles in these waters, so keep your toes up.
Matoaka Island is a wonderful little island. Did you know that Matoaka is the name Pocahontas was born with? I don't know if this island was ever called Matoaka Island until this geocache, but I like it and will continue to call it as such. Maybe you will also. Enjoy your trip to Matoaka Island.
