The difficulty rater on the website rated this 3.5 for terrain. My 8 year old daughter accompanied me while placing this and other caches, so I'll let you decide.
This cache is located in the Minna Anthony Common Nature Center of Wellesley Island State Park.
Some basic rules of the park are:
1) No bicycles or motor vehicles are allowed on the trails,
2) Please stay on the trails (no bushwacking), do not stray from the paths, (none of these will take you near or over an edge),
3) This is a carry-in/carry out park,
4) Dogs must be on a 6 ft leash and have proof of current rabies vaccination,
5) All caches are within 20' of trails.
Trail Hours are Dawn to Dusk
Minna Anthony Common Nature Center Museum Hours are 10 am-4 pm Beginning Mid June a log book will be established in the Nature Center Museum for Geocachers. Ask at the desk and leave your comments if you wish.
There is a $6-7 park entrance fee from around Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. There is also a $2 toll for the 1000 Islands Bridge for anyone not living on Wellesley Island.
Please stop by the Nature Center Museum. It is free and there is a lot of information about the area and a hands on room for an added adventure.
This cache is a piece of a puzzle cache (Between the Knobs). Read the BTK puzzle cache page to minimize your walking. Puzzles don't work well if the pieces are not put back exactly where they were originally. Please look at the cache placement after you figure out its location and put it back as exactly as possible. That makes it just as fun for the next cacher to find it. And since most caches are very close to the trails, it decreases the likelihood that they might be muggled.
Bring something to sign the log.
These are the first caches placed in the Nature Center after the new State Regulations were put into effect. The Nature Center Curator has designated me as the Geocaching POC for both the Nature Center and the Wellesley Island State Park. If you want to place a cache in these areas, please e-mail me.
