July 23rd Marble Hunt Clues. 

 

Clue #1 Your first marble can be found at a location that was once officially named "Garfield Park" in 1894. This name was changed to its current name in 1902. The marble can be found in a place where you can relax, eat, and watch your family play.
FOUND

Clue #2 The next marble is located at a river that according to local tradition, the Ojibwe called the river Busabikazibi, "river that flowers through a worn place in the rocks." You can find the marble where the two rivers flow into Lake Superior.
FOUND

Clue #3 The next marble can be found between 3-3.5 miles along the Lakewalk from Canal Park. This area has been known under many names, Flats or Ledges. Remember: Marble is not in the ground or in an area that will destroy vegetation.

FOUND

Clue #4 Making your way back towards Canal Park, your next marble will be located towards the east end of the Lakewalk by a nice wood platform where you can sit and enjoy the lake surrounded by nice landscaped greenspace.
FOUND 

Clue #5 Continuing with our Lakewalk theme; your next marble can be found by a set of old concrete remains along the shore of Lake Superior.
FOUND 

Clue #6 Prepare yourself for a small hike up and down some hills to where the cars go under ground a second time. This marble is located along a path through the woods to the beach before you see any business overhead. 
FOUND 

Clue #7 Take a break and get a treat at the old gas station turned into a sweet cool treat icon. After getting your treat, come back down the stairs and enjoy it by the lake. This marble can be found somewhere nearby where you might rest your feet. 
FOUND 

Clue #8 You're almost to Canal Park at this point in our journey along the shore. The next marble can be found where you might cool yourself down on a hot summer day.
FOUND 

FOUND 

Clue #11 Turn around, turn around and wait for the signal to pass, you are now heading to the other side of the canal. To see what you can see from the south side of the canal.
FOUND 

Clue #12 This next adventure leads you back over the bridge to the other side of the bay. It rhymes with Lakewalk, but is not the iconic trail of our area. You can find this next marble along the route of the famous 5k race run here every year. But don’t go too far or cross any water as you will have gone right past it.
FOUND
