The theme for this year's series is Animals.
The animal highlighted in Lake Erie Metropark is the Eastern Fox Snake.
Eastern Fox Snake
Although listed as a threatened species in the state of Michigan, the Eastern Fox Snake is abundant along the shores and marshes of Lake Erie Metropark. Travel the Cherry Island or Trapper's Run nature trails, and you have a chance of spotting these harmless critters. Their coloration and habit of vibrating their tail when threatened leads many to believe the Eastern Fox Snake is venomous; which of course, is just not true. If you are lucky enough to spot one of these magnificent creatures, give them some space and enjoy the fact that these rodent-eating machines are something many folks in other parts of the state just do not have an opportunity to see.
The cache is located less than 30 feet from the trail so bushwhacking further than that is not necessary and is discouraged to reduce impact on the environment. Please park at the coordinates shown in the Waypoint table and start your walk at the Trailhead coordinates.
This cache is located within Lake Erie Metropark, a part of the Huron-Clinton Metropolitan Authority park system. A Metropark Vehicle Entry Permit is required: Annual Permit $25. Senior Permit $15. Daily Permit $5.
