Geocache Description:

Some map software shows this one to be in the river, it isn't. But you will have to swim/wade to the island if you don't have a boat and the lake level is up for the summer. In winter months you can walk on dry land to the cache. Well, it might be a little muddy ;)

This is a TVA recreation area; the cache is accessible by foot or boat. If on foot the parking coords are:

35N 09.578 085W 08.499

There are no motorized vehicles allowed beyond the parking spot. They have bulldozed a barricade to prevent them anyway, and the barricade will be your most difficult obstacle so be careful. The cache will be accessible by foot most of the time unless the river is unusually high; don't wear your new Nikes though ;) For now the cache is in a medium sized Rubbermaid container, but I may try to get a more durable ammo box out there soon.

Take time to enjoy this beautiful spot! If you drive around the area you will find a few picnic tables. The road in is a little rough, so watch where you point your wheels. This is also an excellent fishing area.

Note: This is definitely a daytime only cache. 1. The gate closes at night and 2. You'll understand two when you get there :)
