Summerville NS215 Traditional

A WiPE 08 Winter Cache Placement!

Just off of the Glooscap Trail  Take Block Wharf Road to the end for parking. Welcome to Summerville and the Bay of Fundy, the World's Highest Tides.  Summerville was first settled in 1784 by Captain John Grant.  For Summerville History visit  history

As you take the trail at the parking coordinates and walk along the beach,  You'll see debris of old sailing vessels such as the Hamburg that were converted to gypsum barges and later abandoned on the beach near the Hobart Wharf.  It's hard to believe that these grand sailing vessels sailed all over the world.

The cache is placed just off of a public use trail which is accessible from a public picnic/viewing site.  If you take the trail the whole way you'll come to a secluded beach.  You might want to check up on the tide times if you do this.  Tides however won't bother this cache or finding it. It's placed in an area that will give you a great view of the Avon River and is available year round (Winter Friendly).  Do you see the Fundy Gypsum plant across the river in Hantsport?  This is a great place to fish for Striped Bass.

It's about a 5 minute hike from the parking area to the cache site. Trail is kept but may be muddy. Make sure to bring your hiking boots.  Although there is no hunting in the area it's always a good idea to wear your hunter orange when you're walking in the woods.  Cache container is an ammo can - NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NIGHT CACHING as Cache is on the top of a cliff..
