Geocache Description:

Cache is a small container. Inside is a log, and some trackables for the FTF. However, I forgot to add a pen. Please don't swim to the island. The water is very dirty.

Welcome to Lake Alice. At the time of this listing the water level was lowered to accommodate the landscaping and road work on the South side of the lake. As of now you can walk to this island. I have the terrain rating set where it's at because soon the water level will be back to normal and one will have to find a different way of getting out here. Look out for the bird droppings. The cranes that live here in the summer months are quite messy. Steer clear of the geese also. If your not from the area, Fergus Falls is known for the geese that live here year round. Because of the geese and cranes, the lake is not clean. We strongly recommend that you do not swim in this lake. However, many many years ago, this lake was a very popular swimming hole (North side) and also had a floating band shell on the South side. Some believe that during the 1919 cyclone, which destroyed most of the town, the bank's safe, along with a church steeple and bell was blown into this lake. Enough debris from the storm filled the lake, one could literally walk across the lake and not get their feet wet.
