Geocache Description:

Turn down Whitfield Rd. across from the Kawartha Downs Casino to the end of the road. Alternate Route - Airport Rd. to Moncreif line to Bartlett Rd.

.
This series of caches is located along the Otonabee River between Peterborough - Lansdowne Street Lock 19 and Rice Lake. They can all be accessed without using the lock system. Each cache location has car parking available nearby and a landing easily accessible by self propelled watercraft or smaller motor driven craft. They may not all be as friendly to larger motor driven craft. This cache, however, is near a landing accessible to larger pleasure craft. A nice drive by car, planned ahead of time to visit the whole series, will leave Peterborough’s Lansdowne St. at one end and return you in a large loop to the other end of Lansdowne St. Across the river from an old dump, scuba divers once searched the depths for antique bottles. There is a short walk from the gate during the “off season,” otherwise, you can drive right to the water. This cache is near a popular public landing/launch and fishing dock on the west bank so stealth may be necessary. There is a picnic table. We suggest boats be locked while you search.
This cache has been placed by a Central Ontario Geocacher!
