This cache is named after the pioneer village of “Dauphin Lake” or “Old Dauphin” that was located just north of the cache. Because a store and post office was opened here in 1886, the aboriginals, fur traders, and trappers often stopped here for food and supplies. Since they frequently travelled by dog team, there were always many dogs in the area, hence the nickname “Dogtown”. When the railway came through in 1896 the community of “Dogtown” relocated to the south to the present day location of Dauphin.
No need to cross the fence line. Cache contains logbook only. Please bring your own writing stick.
