Geocache Description:

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT DURING SPRING RUN OFF DUE TO CURRENT
Accessable via Ottawa River Parkway with parking at Remic Rapids Lookout. Winter parking may be limited to residential area south of parkway.

“This is the oldest trans-Canada throughway, the canoe route by the Ottawa River, Lake Nipissing, Lake Superior and Lake Winnipeg and the Churchill River to Lake Athabaska and the Rockies. Past this point travelled many explorers, from Brule, Champlain and la Verendrye to Mackenzie, Thompson and Fraser. The Recollet and Jesuit missionaries went this way to and from Huronia. The fur traders, from the early coureurs des bois to the later brigades in big Montreal canoes paddling to and from the “pays d’en haut”, made this river their highway.”
NCC 1964

This cache is part of eight strung out in municipal parks located along twelve kilometers of the Ottawa River and follows a canoeing theme. The cache is accessable by canoe, Green Belt trails or by the Capital Bike Trail system ( during freeze up). Your put in for the canoe can be at the public boat at Dick Bell Park boat launch or above the Little Chaudiere Rapids. You may have to portage the Remic Rapids so the Kitchissippi Lookout would be the calmest water. You definitely will have to portage the Des Chenes Rapids further up river.

The cache is a small Lock n Lock containing a small biner with TB, Silva ball compass, emergency fishing kit, spring toggle, small bungie cord and log with pencil. The river is notorious for Poison Ivy but all these caches are selected to avoid the nasty stuff. The bike path is close by and the area is frequented by numerous muggles so stealth is required. Please replace it as you found it.
My GPS has averaging and a 164 point WGS84 UTM coordinate I determined was 18T 441155 E 5028193 N; FYI.

If you have enjoyed this series then you should visit Kenmore's 'In the Footsteps of the Voyageurs' GCHRG1 for a real history lesson. You can walk in their moose hides on the actual portage, smell the beaver castors and almost taste the dried berries and pemmican!
