Pockwock Walk Series #13 Pine Forest
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
Adding a few extra to this series. Take a nice quiet walk on a carpet of pine needles thru the pine forest until there are no more pine trees. Another way is to walk on the road until you reach the power line going off to the left. Walk in until the first hydro poles and then cut into the woods. Approx. 100 ft in. FTF prize in container. Congrats to SheRu for the FTF!!!
Update 2014-04-13** Please note that this area is a PROTECTED WATERSHED and all cachers must follow geocaching guidelines set out by Halifax Regional Water Commission which can be found at (visit link)
Pockwock Lake is the water supply for Halifax, Bedford, Sackville, Timberlea, Fall River and Waverley. The watershed is protected by provincial designation and is primarily owned by the Crown. HRWC jointly manages the watershed with the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources. The watershed encompasses approximately 5661 hectares.
This is a series of caches in the Pockwock Watershed area placed to combine geocaching with exercise in fresh air. Starting point is Exit 3 Hwy 101, Mount Uniacke. Park using the south east (heading to Halifax) entrance ramp to 101. All caches are on or in a tree, at eye level, approx. 4 - 5 ft., just off the trail, no real bushwacking, and are winter friendly.
This is a great area for walking, hiking, biking, snowshoeing, x-country skiing, etc. Great place to take dogs for exercising, but please scoop the poop. Gravel roads go for miles. Can grab the first few caches in 15 - 30 mins. or take 2 hrs. for the series, round trip.
