Km 9 - le p'tit train du sud
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

This latest train stop is located in Stittsville, a suburban community in the western part of Ottawa. A part of the National Capital Region, Stittsville is located immediately to the south-west of Kanata, and about 31 km from downtown Ottawa. The cache is a camoed micro film canister located on the trail. No need to wander off the tracks for this one. This part of the trail is a little busier and you will need to be on the look out for muggles.
Already a cachers destination, the Ottawa Carleton Trail which officially runs from West Ottawa to Carleton Place. It's a beautiful ride that will allow you to grab a few caches along the way.
The ride is pleasant enough, but like many trails that have been converted from old railway lines, it is very straight, and variations in the scenery are somewhat limited.
At about the half way point to Carleton Place, you will cross the Dwyer Hill Road. At the Cavanagh Construction facility, the trail merges with a local road for a few hundred metres.
The Ottawa-Carleton Trail-way comes to an end in a small industrial park in the outskirts of Carleton Place, and it leads cyclists onto Coleman Street. To get downtown, you will have to cross a busy four lane road (McNeely Ave) and continue on Coleman for almost a kilometer until you pass the old railroad station (which now houses a community services centre). At the next major intersection, turn right onto Franktown Road. It is a fairly busy road, but you only stay on it for about half a kilometre to get downtown. During this short distance, the name of Franktown Road changes from Moore Street to Bridge Street.
Happy Caching!
