Geocache Description:



This cache is located at an ideal parking spot for people wanting access to Goose Creek beach on the Fundy Coast.

About 50 meters past the cache you will notice yellow marked trees. This is the start of an ATV trail that leads you 3.2 kms down to Goose Creek on the Fundy Coast. Once at the coast you are on the Fundy Footpath. There is a wilderness campsite at this spot. Go out towards the beach for an incredible view of Martin Head.

From the campsite, you can hike on the Fundy Footpath by following the white blazes on the trees. A short hike on the Fundy Footpath above and to the west of Goose Creek will bring you to a geocache. Once you find that cache you can go back or you can continue on from there to the Goose Creek Road near Martin Head and follow that road and your GPS, back to the parking spot making a total hiking loop of 12 kms for the day. Be warned that this would be a very strenuous 12 kms. Before attempting the loop, review the logs for the caches on the Footpath to get an appreciation of the beauty of the area and the difficulty of the terrain. Ensure that you are in good physical condition and please do not attempt to hike any part of the Footpath alone.

The Fundy Footpath stretches from Goose River at the edge of Fundy National Park all the way to Big Salmon River at the end of the Fundy Parkway (East of Saint Martins). The footpath hugs the cliffs of the Bay of Fundy, dropping a dozen times into ravines up to 300 metres deep. The path winds through lush boreal forests, crosses rushing creeks and waterfalls, pebbled beaches, sheltered grottos and caves.

The entire length of the footpath is blazed Appalachian Trail style with white blazes painted on trees and rocks. Side trails are blazed in yellow or blue.



The following are the instructions for getting to this cache.
Take the Shepody Road off highway 114, just a little west of the West Exit from Fundy National Park (45 39.811 065 09.121)
Then at 45 36.289 065 15.153, take the Goose Creek road heading south .
Proceed until 45 31.696 065 10.855 and take the road going east.
