Geocache Description:

This cache is located a short distance off the Lake Renwick Bikeway.

The cache is a .50 caliber ammo container with the usual trading items. The bikeway is located in the Lake Renwick Bikeway Forest Preserve. This park is located near but not in the Lake Renwick Rookery Nature Preserve. Take some time to visit the rookery as it is one of Illinois' natural wonders. The rookery is the only place in Illinois where five species of birds, three of which are state-threatened or endangered, nest together. Visitors can view the birds May-August. Lake Renwick is the nursery for great blue herons, great egrets, double-crested cormorants, cattle egrets, and state endangered black-crowned night herons. Lake Renwick is used by many raptors, ducks, and songbirds as a resting place during their seasonal migration.
