Small Cache Container, Located 2/3 towards the Top of Patridge Island just off the Main Trail
This cache is a Small Lock Top Container with Log Sheets and a Few Trading Items. Follow White Hall Road, the Main Street through Parrsboro, go South towards the Ottawa House. Keep to the Right as you go in the Road to Ottawa House down to the Beach where you will find Picnic Tables and Lots of Parking on the Sand Bar. The main Trail is well marked and Starts behind the Cabin at the Base of Partridge Island at the End of the Sand Bar.
Cache is Located 2/3 up the main trail towards the Top of Partridge Island. You have a Panoramic View of Ottawa house, Parrsboro Harbour, Clarks Head and Two Islands. Main Trail is about 1.8km Returned from the Look out Tower and is a good hike from Beach Level to about 230ft on the trail, First 100ft is the Steepest but well worth the Hike. There is a place for Camp Fire, Picnic Table and an Outhouse at the end of the Main Trail at the Lookout Tower, Makes for a great Resting and Lunch area.
There are 2 Other Caches Placed on the Island "Partridge Island" (GC1T47V) & "Top of Island" (GC1VD58) Where you can get Great Photo’s.
Just a Note of Caution as listed in the other Caches……Please stay to the Trails. Beware of the Clift Edges. East, West and South Sides of the Island have up to 260ft Clift’s with ongoing under erosion at Bank Edges.
If you decide to take a Walk on the Beach around the Island, Take a Friend, Don't go alone, and watch the Rocks as they are Slippery when wet or covered with Seaweed. Do not get to close to the Clift’s due to Falling Rocks. KNOW the Tide Times as the Tide Rises Very Fast and Rises up the Clift Faces on parts of the Island. You can get a good look at the Height of the Tide if you are there at Low Tide you will see a 30ft Fishing Weir just off the West side of the Island 0n the Beach. At high tide the weir is hardly seen. Be off the back side of the Island at least 2 Hours before tide is due to Rise. If not this is Leaving you to Swim or Climb. If you are there at the Tided Changes you will know there is a 7 to 8 knot Flow with Rip Tides and all 3 sides depending if the Tide is coming in or out. So Swimming is out. And I haven’t seen anyone climb a 280ft Lose Rock Vertical Clift face, So Climbing is out. So Please be off before the Tide Begins to Rise. This is not to scare you off, It is a Beautiful Place and a favorite location for Mineral, Rock and Gem Seekers.
Enjoy Caching and the Beauty of the Bay of Fundy
