You will need a boat of some sort to complete this cache.
(Canoe, kayak, motorboat). Even if you can find parking closer to
the cache, we recommend against attempting to swim as the river has
a strong current. We also suggest you always use a life vest (PFD)
when boating on the river.
The rating for this cache is based on the need for a watercraft
