Geocache Description:

This cache is located along the valley of Sixteen Mile Creek in Oakville. The trails here are part of the Sixteen Mile Creek section of Oakville's Heritage Trail system.

While these trails are heavily used for jogging, cycling, and dog walking, this cache is located in an area that gets much less traffic. The trail starts off as hard packed, then turns into a typical unmaintained forest trail, with several elevation changes along the way. Be mindful of the steep cliff alongside parts of the trail. This is a child-friendly cache, but be sure to watch them near cliff areas.

There are many access points in surrounding neighborhoods. The easiest access is from the East Bank Trail. Recommended parking can be found at Neyagawa Park on the corner of Neyagawa and River Glen. There is a trailhead across the street at the Neyagawa Information Station. I have posted a waypoint (T1) for a trail that descends into the valley and leads to the forest trail I used when placing the cache. The forest trail is easy to miss so I have also posted a waypoint (T2) for it. At the forest trail waypoint, look for the trail that ascends to the top of the valley. There are many alternate routes other than the one described, but most are much more vertical!
