Lake Minnetonka has many islands, but only a handful are publically accessible. Even fewer have geocaches placed for the residents and visitors of this beautiful lake. This series strives to add recreational opportunities to the handful of public islands through the placement of simple traditional geocaches.
As with most island caches, a boat or ice would be very beneficial in finding this cache (in this specific case, swimming/wading is likely possible since the island is a short distance from shore).
Located on land owned by the City of Mound operated as Ridgewood Park. It is mostly undeveloped shoreline, but there are small docks and picnic tables. Streetside parking is available.
Not many hiding spots here, so the container is a small PB jar. The hiding spot should be winter-friendly, barring an incredibly snow-heavy winter. The island seemed to be lined with lots of thorns and burr plants, so be careful. Have fun and be safe.
