Clair Creek Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

K'J': The environmental safety constructions fences that were put up after this cache was published remain to be a barrier for 2 years now and there is no sign that they will be coming down soon. As a result I'll archive this cache so nobody has to climb over the 3 foot wire fences.

Geocache Description:

Cache is hidden in a flatter area of the Forested Hills - ESPA #19. If you hike these trails from end to end you will know why the word "Hills" is in the name.


Cache is close to the North branch of Clair Creek that once was the drainage basin for the surrounding rolling agricultural land. However, new developments in the area have now reduced it to an urban creek draining small flood control basins.

Depending on your approach you may have to cross the creek. There are some large landscaping rocks that cross the creek closer to the cache at N 43° 27.613 W 080° 35.590 or you can use the foot bridge further down at N 43° 27.627 W 080° 35.493 if water levels are too high for the rocks. If you choose the rocks be careful as there is a drop down to the creek and it gets very slippery when wet.


Here are your warnings........

Summer - Beware of mosquitoes!
Fall - Beware of slippery trails and beautiful colours!
Winter - After a fresh snow beware of getting lost!
Spring - Beware of slippery trails and Trilliums!
