24 kms N.E. of Nelson take the Harrop/Proctor ferry across the
Kootenay River.
"West Arm Provincial Park", one of the West Kootenays best kept
secrets, is an undeveloped 25,319 hectare park that extends along
the shores of Kootenay Lake from Nelson to Harrop. The park
contains a diverse range of habitats from lakeshore to subalpine.
Recreation Opportunities include wildlife viewing, hiking, skiing,
watersports, canoeing, and kayaking. The historic Lasca Creek Trail
is one of several hiking opportunities in the park. The cache is
placed near the trailhead. Another great trail to explore is the 13
km (one way) Mill Lake Trail that takes the hiker to a beautiful
subalpine lake located in the heart of the Nelson Range.
This cache promotes active living and environmentally friendly
geocaching. This cache is hidden in a BC Park. BC Parks supports
geocaching!
Here is a link to the BC Parks geocaching policies, please
familiarize yourself with them. Through cooperation with BC Parks,
we can keep geocaching a fun and supported activity in BC's
Provincial Parks
As an alternate means to get to this cache You can take your
bike on the "North Shore Bus" to the Harrop Ferry Landing and ride
your bike to the cache. If you do this you'll emitted way less
carbon into the atmosphere than if you had driven.
In these caches, you'll find some ProjectBlueSky geocoins for
the first finders. Please only take one... if you have one from
another cache, please leave them for other people. There are also
some other pins and swag from BC Parks, BCGA and Project Blue
Sky.
