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.
