This is our first cache in the Lower Niagara River Gorge Series. This series begins at the Northern end of the river ( downstream ) with "RAPID ART" followed by "A DEVIL OF A HIKE", then "RAW POWER!", and finally "THE BIG KAHUNAS". As you progress South ( upstream ) the level of difficulty increases. All hikes are near very steep cliffs without railings on well used trails. For your safety stay on the trails. No bushwhacking here. Follow waypoints carefully. Although we are experienced nighttime hikers, the last three caches should not be attempted at night. My seven year old daughter completed all hikes with minimal complaints. Please also visit our Upper Niagara River Series; the peaceful side of The Niagara. The series begins with "ERIE'S END" ( upstream ) followed by "FISH'S SPAWN" and ends with "THE OTHER SISTER." Don't forget your camera. All caches take you through Western New York's most picturesque river and lake views. The entire Upper Niagara Series follows clear and level paths and is well suited for the family. All readings were taken with a Garmin 176c and a Garmin III. Averaged accuracy's are better than 30 feet.
The cache is located along the edge of Artpark State Park in Lewiston NY. Use the Portage road entrance off of Highway 18f ( Center St. ). Park and read the sign at N43*09.742 / W079*02.655. Take the lower trail to your right. The trails for the most part stay dry. Round trip you'll rack up 1.5 miles of easy trail. Along the way, there are many sets of stairs and a few trails that will take you to the water's edge. The thunder of The Mighty Niagara awaits you.
Please return the cache to the EXACT location and cover.
