COG3 #01: Gateway to Central Ontario Traditional Cache

Use exit 90 from the 400, northbound or southbound. When traveling northbound this is the gateway to the Central Ontario tourism region including Muskoka, Kawarthas, Haliburton Highlands, Lake Ontario Ports of Call, Southern Georgian Bay and Lake Simcoe. Find adventure and relaxation in Ontario's playground. Experience our "cottage country" in the Muskoka Lakes and Georgian Bay areas renowned for its recreational options.

When traveling southbound you are about an hour away from the largest city in Canada – Toronto.

The geocache is available 24/7. There is no need to climb any fences. And DO NOT park on the 400 ramp to access the cache as there is plenty of free parking.
