Geocache Description:

Boat required as the cache is on an island. The terrain of the island is easy but over-grown at parts.

Loon Pit is located in the Bluegrass Game and Bird Reserve. There are launch sites at both ends of Loon Pit. These are the coordinates of the area that I beached at the island (38.04.729N 087,27.654W), but there are several other good places to go ashore. This is a beautiful little island and the pit is a fun place to kayak with a lot of geese, herons and various other waterfowl. The cache is an ammo box with a log, pencil and nosey pencil sharpener. The box was begun with an eclectic group of thingies and stuff.
