Geocache Description:

With Lake St Clair on the horizon, the Spillway to your side, and tall trees all around. Enjoy this more secluded section of the bike trail. No cars around!

The objective of the Hike-Bike Cache Series is to introduce you to a few different sections of the bike trail, and to show you your parking options along the way. Then depending on where you park, and what direction you walk, you can enjoy a different walk every day of the week. Happy exercising!

This cache is part 4 of a 7 cache series. You will need to collect the number-letter combination in this cache to solve the coordinates for Cache #7.

Note...each parking choice will give you a different approach and/or distance to the cache.

Bethlehem Lutheran Church Lot (Union Lake and 16 Mile Rd) 42’ 34.137 N 082’ 51.812 W
Harrison Township Park (Ballard and Jefferson) 42’ 33.869 N 082’ 50.954 W
Mariners Point Parking Lot (Crocker and 16 Mile Rd) 42’ 34.310 N 082’ 51.174 W

The Harrison Township Park on Ballard Rd near Jefferson is my favorite starting point for this cache. There is a great play area for the kids, and the bike trail doesn't have any roads running along this stretch. It has natural beauty.

When at the cache area, please be sensitive to the private property in this area. Do not pass thru the gap in the fence into the yards or cross the fence line. The cache is in the middle, so there is NO need to get close to the property line.

I also recommend against night caching for this cache since it is close to private back yards. Thanks!
