Located along the path of the new Lewistown Narrows Canal Park
The park, situated along the old Lewistown Narrows roadway, is accessible on Old 22 from the Arch Rock exit.
The lock keeper's home exterior has been refurbished and work crews on the Lewistown Narrows project also have rehabilitated a section of the original Pennsylvania Canal, as well as adding park benches and other amenities to the park.
Situated in the shadow of the four-lane highway, the old stone walls of the lock stand as a reminder of the long history of transportation through the mountain valley.
At the far end, a walking trail exits the parking lot, which winds along the Juniata River to the fishing access area.
You can reach the cache quickly via the fishing access area if it is open. The fishing area is ONLY accessible if you are traveling East on 22/322.
See below for the parking coordinates of the fishing area and the lock keeper's home. The lock keeper's home is accessible when traveling either way on Route 22/322.
The area will most likely be wet and muddy after a rain. There is THICK poison ivy along the path. There should be none at the actual cache location though.
New container is big enough for swag and trackables. Please rehide as well or better. As always, trade even/trade up.
Congratulations to redtailforester for the FTF....you are a true cacher for braving the woods at night!!!!!
