Be sure to bring your boots! Though you can get away without Them remember that the snow just melted off and there is a lot of standing water. Also the geese love this island, do I need to say more?

Dusk will be the end to a great day!

Belle Isle is truly one of Detroit’s gems.
Spring is a great time to cache the island, less muggles, and cooler temps. There are caches placed in many interesting areas of the island. Currently there are 40, or so, caches on the island. There are plans to place new permanent caches on the island.
