Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Deep Creek Triathlon. In order to complete the triathlon you will need to find 3 caches (one by boat, one by bike, and one by walking / hiking):


Deep Creek Triathlon – Water
Deep Creek Triathlon – Bike
Deep Creek Triathlon – Walk

Deep Creek Triathlon – Final

Each of the caches is more than a mile from the closest parking point so you will get a little exercise along the way. When you find each the three caches you will be given a clue for the final. The final is in a neighborhood park and is the easiest of the series – it’s simply a reward for completing all three phases of the triathlon. However, you MUST complete all three triathlon phases before logging a smiley on the final. No exceptions. If you plan properly you can do the entire series in a day, but there is no time limit on getting any or all of the caches. Find them at your leisure and enjoy some really nice areas of Deep Creek.

This is the bike phase of the triathlon. You may also choose to walk / hike to this cache if you prefer. The cache is located on the Dismal Swamp Canal Trail. The parking coordinates provided will start you at the north end of the trail and will be about 5.5 miles round trip from here. You can start from the south end as well but your journey will be further. The entire trail is about 8 miles long and contains numerous caches so please enjoy some others on your ride.

The cache is a small DCON container just off the trail. Don’t forget to note the clue.
