On the boardwalk Traditional Geocache
-allenite-: As there's been no response from the cache owner to my previous note, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

This geocache can be easy to access and quick to find. Park in the lot by the river near the Riverside Fishing Charters sign on Water Street. Take the steps to the riverwalk. The geocache is located to the left side of the steps where they join to riverwalk. Or enjoy the riverwalk. Pedestrians only, no pets. Walk from the Route 31 bridge downtown all the way to the lake. The cache is about 2/3 of the way to Lake Michigan.If you're lucky a freighter will fill the river as you walk by.
This geocache is along the Manistee Riverwalk. The Riverwalk follows the Manistee River...to walk the full 1.5 mile length, park at the end of Jones Street, where you'll find access to the walkway. It continues on under the US-31 bridge and meanders behind the downtown district, finally ending up at First Street beach, near the river outlet to Lake Michigan. Along the Riverwalk, there are stairs you can climb to access the many shops and restaurants in downtown Manistee. At the end of Spruce Street, you'll find a park complete with picnic tables, grills, and bench swings. It' a wonderful place to stop, rest, and enjoy a bite to eat. During your walk, you'll pass by fish cleaning stations, docks...and of course, view the large freighters and smaller vessels as they glide along the river.
