Geocache Description:



This cache is Located on "Treasure Island" in Halpatiokee Regional Park . Halpatiokee (Seminole for "Alligator Water") was purchased with funds from the Land For You bond referendum and Florida Communities Trust. The county leases the South Fork addition from the South Florida Water Management District and the Department of Evironmental Protection. The park has a variety of habitats including grassy marshes, freshwater swamps, pine forest, and oak hammocks.
My wife bought me a new kayak for our one-year anniversary, so I was dying to go kayaking. To get this cache you will need a kayak/canoe or you must be a good swimmer. You can park your car in Hosford Park and launch your vessel there for free. The Island this cache is located on is called "Treasure Island", but I liked the name "Lost Island" better because the River is called "Lost River". On this island you find two locations that you can dock your vessel at. There's a kid made tree house on one part of the island. Remember to bring your lunch and enjoy the scenery.
You are looking for a small container with a log book in it.
