Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
The terrain is flat and paved for most of the tour but you do have to cross some downtown streets and there will be trail that is hard packed dirt with a slight incline at some point.
You can't find this cache without doing a little math and legwork, follow the multi-cache to some interesting and/or historical spots around Peterborough and you will be rewarded in the end. (We don't recommend letting kids run free on any parts of this cache). The cache awaits you in a pleasant little oasis of a spot downtown. Your journey starts at the Historical Society Building and it should take you less than an hour to find the cache.

Closer to the cache there is a mild hill with an edge, so small kids should be kept close by.
Note: this is our first hide so we have added a little something sweet to the cache for the first finder :)
