Cache is located is Chimney Rocks park. Though, the highlight of this cache is the Hollidaysburg Canal Basin which can be seen from the overlook near the cache. It is a short steep initial hike to the cache but then it gets better, I promise. The best trail to take is right off the parking lot.
In the 19th century, Hollidaysburg served as a critical link in the Pennsylvania Main Line Canal, connecting the canal with the Allegheny Portage railroad at the foot of the Allegheny Mountains. Canal Basin Park features the restored Victorian Reiser House- home to interactive interpretive exhibits; reconstructed historic canal lock, an amphitheater and a children’s playground in the shape of canal boat. This cache is part of the Main Line Canal GeoTrail, a chance to experience the Pittsburgh-Harrisburg Main Line Canal Greenway through geocaching. The Greenway is a linked network of land and water trails, tracing the path of the historic Main Line Canal. These caches may be found in an outdoor recreation destination, a key heritage location or an environmental educational site- all ways the Greenway is making new connections between old neighbors. You must find at least 4 geocaches in each of the Main Line Canal Greenway Clusters and record the codes found at each cache in the Logbook. Once you have completed the MLCG Logbook you can receive a MLCG trackable geocoin. Remember CITO can be practiced all year long and Leave No Trace.
