For this box you'll need to head towards Big Blue Lake. Following Russell Road, you'll need to
Find the spot where a fire tower once stood;one of the highest points in muskegon county:


Just off of Russell Road and directly across from the two track entrance to Camp Hiawatha Beach is an entrance leading down into Paradise Valley, a unique ecosystem and cedar and hemlock forest that thrives off of the nutrients and springs provided by what many believe to be the resurfacing waters of Gerken Creek that flows out of Big Blue Lake. By the north entrance of the red trail leading down to the valley are the steel shoes which supported the four posts of a previous US Forestry Service fire watchtower. Also, adjacent to where that tower stood is a brass US Geologic Survey benchmark noting one of the highest points in the township, an elevation of 208.4 feet above sea level.


The box is located inside a fallen tree on the side of the road that leads to paradise valley (also known by some as sleepy hollow), which is where you'll find the geological survey marker and the posts for the old fire tower. Standing so that you are facing the sign noting
trail use by permission only, look to your left to see a fallen, hollow tree. Inside is the box you seek.

be sure to bring markers or an ink pad and pen
