This is a regular size cache hidden just off of the Lakeview Ext. Trail. Park at the Welcome Kiosk near the Route 82 entrance. After finding LT-2, head back downhill and take a grassy trail to the left. This will bring you over towards the lake and the Lake View Ext. trail. There is a bench with a nice view of the lake just south of this hide. You are looking for a plastic lock-n-lock container.
