Geocache Description:


Here's another canoe cache on the Grand River to enjoy. This section of the Grand has some really high escarpments with great views. It is also surprisingly quiet in this section of the river as it is furthest from the road. Please respect the posted sign at the suggested canoe access near the cache and do not camp or light open fires at this location. The cache is about 3km south of the Glen Morris boat launch on the west bank of the river. It is about a 12km canoe journey if you start at Glen Morris and end at Paris -- plan on about 3 hours. If you are looking for a longer journey, there is a boat launch at the start of the rail trail in Cambridge and you can put in there. That will be about a 21km journey to Paris taking about 5 hours. These approximate times are at a slow comfortable paddle with the usual slow summer flow rate and little wind. It shouldn't take any longer than the times suggested, but could easily be shorter if you put some effort into it. For those not looking for a leisurely canoe ride, you can probably wander off the Cambridge/Paris rail trail from the east and wade across the river, although I don't recommend it as it is about chest deep in this section with a fairly strong current. I'm not sure where you can access the river nearby without trespassing. There is a fair bit of privately owned property along the rail trail, please do not trespass. There is no access from the west side either as it is private property. Using a canoe is really your only option, sorry.
