Follow your GPSr heading into a designated Ontario Provincial Fish Sanctuary, and steer toward the 60 foot white rock walls that drop straight into the lake. From the base of the cliffs in my tiny kayak, this reminded me of the grand white cliffs of Dover (England), though on a smaller scale. Note that this is a shallow bay, and with water 3-4 feet for the final 100-200m, depending on the approach you take. The final ~50 feet have only 1-2 feet of clearance. You will have to pull in on a canoe-friendly landing spot at the base of the cliffs in a tiny jut of land – I think there are around 4-5 trees clinging to the heap of dirt that has collected.
This area is also very weedy in the mid-summer, so swimming is not really an option.
Cache container is a 2kg bright red plastic coffee can, with a green MGBA Geocaching sticker on the side:
- FTF Tim’s Gift Certificate
- “Support Our Troops” pin
- “Go Bike” button
- magnifying glass
- buzzsaw 8-Ball
- mini crocodile
- surfboard keychain
- jumbo paperclip
- Goodie Hair Elastic (pair)
- mini toy Simba flashlight
And of course a logbook, pencil, and Geocaching manifesto.
I’ve also setup other water friendly caches in the area: Fish Sanctuary (GC1H7KM), Cliffs of Dover (GC1H7KJ), White Pine Point (GC1H7KK), and Rock Island (GCQ0PK) which is a great final destination for a picnic, and some fishing.
Water access for your watercraft (canoe, kayak) can be done at the Township of South Crosby Beach and Parking area, located off Delong Road (N 44 34.917 W 076 14.711). This site also has some public playground equipment handy for younger cachers, though I’ve seen very little swimming in the area. There is a 50m portage from the parking site to the lakeshore.
This site has land access to "Three Tall Trees" (GCWE0W), which is 150m from the parking lot.
Enjoy your outing!
