Geocache Description:

An easy quiz and a scenic paddle.

This cache is located along Milldam Creek and can only be reached via kayak or canoe. Milldam Creek has been evaluated under the DCR's Scenic Rivers Program and was found worthy to be designated a Virginia Scenic River. The program’s intent is to identify, designate and help protect rivers and streams that possess outstanding scenic, recreational, historic and natural characteristics of statewide significance for future generations. To obtain the coordinates for the cache, you will have to find out which of the following statements about the Scenic Rivers Program is incorrect:
  1. One of the benefits of designating a scenic river is encouraging closer review of projects and proposals by state agencies and localities. ( N 36° 34.621' W 076° 5.105')
  2. The program’s enabling legislation is the Virginia Scenic Rivers Act of 1970. (N 36° 34.620' W 076° 5.166')
  3. DCR conducts a study and determines the eligibility of a river segment before a legislative sponsor is found for a designation bill in General Assembly. (N 36° 34.562' W 076° 5.280')
  4. Designation evaluation criteria include historic features, quality of fishery and potential for commercial development (N 36° 34.592' W 076° 5.231')
