The Lime Kiln is a very nice and relatively unused trail in
Birds Hill Park. It can be a tricky path to follow with its more
than forty crossings. It's a 7.5 km round trip starting at the
Birds Hill Park Ranch parking lot. The trail is wide and flat with
a surface of packed dirt in the front and grass covered in the
back. The elevation ranges from 265 metres at the trail head to 240
m at the Lime Kiln. This mostly forested path has some nice
features along the way including sand pits, earthen mounds and of
course the Lime Kiln. There is a warm up shack half way around the
trail with a vault toilet. The trail is designated for hiking and
horses in summer and cross country skiing in winter. No hiking
or dogs are permitted on the groomed cross-country trails in the
winter. There are washrooms, a pay phone, restaurant and
stables at the trail head.
The cache is located by a passing lane on the far loop of
the Lime Kiln Trail. The container is a regular sized ammo box a
few metres off the trail in some light bush.
