Lake Dubonnet is a 1000 acre impoundment of the upper Platt River.
In addition to excellent pan fishing, it has a floating island that
periodically takes it upon itself to change locations, If you visit
in the evening you will hear the quintessential sound of "UP
North", the call of a Loon. The lake boasts a nesting pair. We have
also noticed quite a bit of beaver activity although not the pesky
critters themselves.
The Michigan Shore-To-Shore Trail begins at Lake Michigan in
Empire and ends more than 200 miles east at Lake Huron near
Oscoda.The trail was created and is maintained by the Michigan
Trail Riders Association in cooperation with the DNR. Closed to
motorized traffic, it passes through meadows and forests where
possible and uses roadside shoulders where necessary.

The cache is a plastic nut jar about 1/4 mile from the campground.
