The GL Series is made up of nine geocaches that will take you on a tour of the Goodrich-Loomis Conservation Area. Please don’t go too far off of the trails as all caches are generally located no more than one metre off the trail. There is poison ivy throughout the trails.
Nestled in the scenic, rolling hills of Northumberland County, Goodrich-Loomis Conservation Area offers some of the most scenic natural beauty found in the Quinte area. Climb up the Esker Trail and take in the scenic view. Try flyfishing on Cold Creek. Take the family on a short hike along the Junior Loop. Bring your camera and catch nature at its best on the Beaver Trail. Blaze the Loop D'Loop with your mountain bike. Pack a picnic lunch and hike the entire 12 kilometres of trails. Or when there's snow, thread your way through the property on cross-country ski trails.
The 179 hectare (441 acre) parcel of land supports a wide variety of ecological communities: one of eastern Ontario's finest trout streams; remnant prairie; oak savannah; a portion of a provincially significant wetland; and mature mixed forest. There is also an established bluebird population.
Lower Trent Conservation is a community-based environmental agency that protects, restores and manages the natural resources within its watershed.
They work with local communities to create a healthy, environmentally diverse watershed that improves the quality of life for residents, makes our area more appealing to visitors and new business, and helps to ensure a more vibrant regional economy.
