Geocache Description:

Come venture into the woods to feed the birds and squirrels.

The cache is on the trails at the Beaver Ski club. It is located just past an elaborate feeding station for squirrels and birds. There is always a lot of activity at the feeders: many squirrels, lots of chickadees, as well as a few species of woodpeckers and sometimes even an owl, eyeing a squirrel lunch.

If you don't want to ski, it is a short easy walk from the parking lot. You may walk on the trail but please don't step in the groomed track. If you wish, you can also snow shoe. The parking lot is only available in winter as it is a plowed field. In order to help cachers who may want to go in summer, we are posting the coordinates for the entrance to the field. Access to the cache is via the trail in the south east corner of the field.

In the mid 1980's a number of neighbours in the Saint Marcel area got together and created cross-country ski trails on their land. They built a camp and created a ski club for their own enjoyment. They did such a great job that people from all over started to come. It is now the largest ski club in the province. The club usually has more than 400 members and over 20 kms of groomed trails. You don't need to be a member to ski here.
