This cache is located just off one of the many trails in Sleepy Hollow State Park. It was placed for the sixth annual Camp MiGO event. Most of the trails are well groomed and hard packed making a bicycle a great way to get to the caches in the area.
The Camp MiGO caches this year celebrate Michigan lighthouses. Lighthouses played an important part in development of Michigan and Great Lakes shipping and commerce. Those lighthouses that are still active are still used today by commercial shipping and recreational boaters to improve safety for all who use any or all of the four Great Lakes in Michigan.
Keep in mind during hunting season to be aware of hunters in the area. Hunting is allowed most non-summer months, generally from September 15 until April 1st each year, so please be careful and dress appropriately, including Hunter Safety Orange, when hunting is allowed.
A Recreation Passport is required for all vehicles entering Sleepy Hollow State Park. They are best purchased with your Michigan license plate, but are also available at the park.
