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.
There is no particular risk of ticks in this area, but one should always be aware of ticks when out in the woods. Check your clothing and exposed skin after a walk in the woods and grass. It is (jokingly) named after a friend of our who picked up a tick while geocaching.
This cache is placed on a high bank near a beaver lodge - you will hve a good scramble to reach the site. Another large clumps of trees.
