Geocache Description:

A cache series on the abandoned railbed of The Bytown and Prescott Railway



Please do not drive to the caches on this trail.

This series of 17 caches is placed between County Road 21 from Spencerville in the north, and Glen Smail Road in the south. They are all placed close to the rail line.

History Tidbit:Thomas McKay and partners decided to build a railway from Bytown, Upper Canada (now Ottawa, Ontario) by the most direct route to the St. Lawrence river to transport logs, which hitherto had to be floated down the Ottawa River to Montreal and thence to Quebec City to be loaded onto ships bound for Europe.

All the micro caches are winter friendly, but some of the larger ones are not.

This section of the trail should be easy to navigate by mountain bike, and is in quite good shape.
The trail is part of the snowmobile trails in the area.

Good luck and have fun!
