Eqpahak (formerly Savage Island) was the traditional meeting place for the area First Nation groups and is still used at times in this way. It is the northern most point where there is noticable tidal activity.
Be sure to tie your boat as water levels do flucuate unexpectedly.
Eqpahak Island is famous for it's fiddleheads in early spring. I'll be placing a series of caches on the island in hopes that more people will go canoeing or kayaking to find them. Walking on the island is made more difficult by the huge growth of fiddlehead ferns in the summer. All the caches must be placed high up to avoid the spring floods.
This cache is near what I think is an old mill site. You can see two rows of old concrete posts a few meters north of the cache and the pond. The cache is located in an old Basswood tree. It contains only a log so bring your own pencil. Depending on the route you take it is a nice walk through the grass, milkweed and fiddleheads.
