Geocache Description:

*** People kept moving this hide to a more difficult location. I've decided to keep it in this location. I've changed the difficulty and terrain ratings accordingly ***

You're looking for a micro container hidden at the junction of the old Fayetteville Feeder Canal and Limestone Creek


Recent construction has beautified the area, creating benches, parking, and a bridge connecting the site to the new(ish) Canal Landing Park on the other side of Limestone creek. When we placed our original hide here (GC339ZA ) a couple of years ago the area was overgrown and unkempt. Quite a change now

Here you will find the remains of the old dam and the beginning of the canal. The mile long waterway was used in the 19th century to transport goods between the village of Fayetteville and the Erie Canal. Today the old towpath serves as a nice walking and biking trail that connects up to the Erie Canal State Park at the Limestone wide waters.

Please bring your own pen/pencil

Congrats to CuseKinsellas on their first FTF!
