Geocache Description:

After you find this cache why not extend the series further north with a new Canal Trek hide???

This part of the Trek takes us a little further north On the Canal Trail so that you can get a better view of the newest member of the Seven Wonders of Oldsmar --The Big Blue Pipe.

We spotted a Double Crested Cormorant here. They swim underwater. Note the hooked beak and Orange Chin Pouch. For a nice long hike, park at the Curlew Road Bridge parking area. Don't feed the Gators!! You can admire the expensive new sod they've used to cover the shell pathway during "construction". If there's not money in the budget to mow it, I'm sure we can work that out tax-wise, somehow...

Flood Control: The construction of the Lake Tarpon outfall canal and water level control structure in the 1970s effectively addressed the severe flooding problems that existed in the Lake Butler Basin prior to these actions. The canal stretches more than three miles from the southern Cove on Lake Tarpon to Safety Harbor in northern Tampa Bay.
