Geocache Description:

**POISON IVY MAY BE GROWING ON THE TREE. STAY ALERT**

Cache is hidden near Lock 1 just off the Welland Canals Parkway Multi Use Trail! Come watch some nice boats go by and take a stroll!

The Welland Canals Parkway is a key component of the linear park system in St. Catharines (and the Niagara Peninsula). It parallels the route of the Welland Canal from Lake Ontario (Lock One) to Glendale Avenue, just south of Lock Three. This is a 3m wide asphalt trail, for walking or cycling connecting a number of destinations and parks along the canal. The Parkway connects to the Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail at Charles Ansell Park which is just south of Lakeshore Road at Lock One. The trail crosses most major east-west roads in St. Catharines and provides users with opportunities to enjoy the Garden City's parks system, or stop along the way for a snack or visit some of the commercial areas of the city. Of key interest along the trail are locks one, two and three, and the Welland Canals Centre and Museum at Lock 3. The trail passes through the Grantham Ward, St. George's Ward, and the Merritton Ward before heading south to the flight locks in Thorold. The Welland Canals Parkway Trail represents a link to both the city's industrial heritage and recreational future.

The cache itself is micro pill container covered in cammo duct tape. Please use lots of stealth while obtaining the cache. Park rules indicate trail is to be used dawn to dusk, be aware.

Be sure to check out the other caches along the trail!

Parking available for FREE right next to lock one. On Bunting road.

OH! And for the name of the cache..... don't ask.

Congrats to Rockharder & Hellnite for FTF.
