Geocache Description:


The cache is at the posted coordinates.

Remember to bring your stamp pad to stamp your logbook with the stamp in the cache, as there is no inkpad in the cache. Geocachers can sign the logbook in the cache.



Choices choices, where to go? No room for more caches upstream; too close proximity to any possible GZ that-a-way. Downstream would require running the rapids over the road, and I wouldn't do that to you!

The only remaining choice lies before you at the posted, so prepare yourself for a slightly eerie, but cool paddle to the GZ. You can reach the cache from your craft, so no need to trespass on either riverbank.


Although the cache may look like it's along the shoreline, it IS NOT. It's on a tree overhanging the river and is NOT accessible from the private property along the banks.

Neither can you walk along the shoreline to get to the GZ, there simply is none.

You will need water transportation to reach the cache once at the GZ, which is reachable from your watercraft.

This cache will take you to the Bow of the Jock Park, where you'll find a play structure for kids, bathrooms, and a dock to launch your cartop boat from. Careful of all the poison ivy along the shoreline though.

Watch for painted, and snapping turtles sunning themselves on logs, and green herons perched on poles on the way to the GZ.

There is a poison ivy free spot to launch a kayak at N 45° 15.037 W 75° 48.471. Head away from the dock from the parking lot, to the south corner of the park.

FREE canoe and kayak (Rooftop boats only) launch and parking at N 45° 15.157 W 75° 48.480 (dock).
