Geocache Description:

Welcome to the confluence of Skookum Creek with the Mamquam River. Both of these moving bodies of water provide both recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiast and generate electrical power sold to BC Hydro.


During this outbreak of COVID-19, we urge you not to do this geocache. This is not the time to be geocaching. By all means, walk around your block but give geocaching a rest for now.

The cache is located approximately 13.5 KM East of Squamish and Highway 99. Access is along a Forest Service Road that can, at times, be rough. 4 wheel drive is not needed but I would hesitate taking the family sedan on this road..

This is an active haul road. We have seen logging trucks, rafting company busses with trailers, and many pickups and trucks belonging to construction companies working on the run-of-river project on Skookum Creek on the FSR at all times of the day. Be very cautious and drive with your lights on!! (And we are not just talking day time running lights here) Also, beware of rock climbers the first 2 to 3 KMs as they park their vehicles along here to access different parts of the Stawamus Chief Park climbing areas. Be prepared and as usual good practice, let someone know where you’re going and expected time of return. It is not far into the back country but that does not mean you should not do the prudent things to ensure safety.

You are looking for a camo painted ammo can. FTF prize of an 2013 adult seasons pass to the Hells Gate Tram awaits the first successful cacher. Please rehide well covered.

The cache will not be winter accessible!
