Geocache Description:

Congratulations to Ramblin' Rose on FTF!

Near the Gaspereau River, below the dam that's part of the canal system. Cache name inspired by Fireflyrob & Mrs FF's excellent series further upstream.

The cache is about a 700m walk along a nice trail, following the Gaspereau river along a section that is a bypass for the hydroelectric power system. It's deceptively close to two other caches in the area, but all 3 are separated by quite a lot of water. It might be possible to cross to the "Gaspereau Canal Micro", but it could be dangerous and wouldn't be possible in the winter. Trail is quite wet in spots.

Once you've found the cache, it's another 300m up the trail to a beautiful spot just below the dam. More intrepid cachers might continue onwards to look for Hellgate Falls cache, though there are closer access points.

Parking is available at the baseball field, near the trailhead coordinates listed below. It's not ploughed in winter, though. A slightly more rugged and interesting start is to follow the river up from the corner of the baseball field parking lot.
