Otonabee: Bensford Bridge - By Land or Water Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Stabeez: This one had a good run but is too far to go each time we want to do maintenance or check it. We assume that it floated off in high water.

Geocache Description:

Off Cty. Rd. 2 to Michael’s Ct. on the South side of the bridge to Bensford Bridge. Park at the loop at the end of the road.

.
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. This is a quick, straight forward cache about 165m from a public landing/launch on the west bank. Park along the road This is a popular launch so stealth may be required. This is also called “Second Bridge” as it is the second bridge which boaters travelling downstream of Peterborough go under. By road, it is closer than “First bridge” from Peterborough due to the serpentine nature of the river.
