The provincial website for Hemer Provincial Park states - "Located on Holden Lake south of Nanaimo, this forested park is popular with local residents, who mainly come here to explore the extensive trail system. The marsh area at Hemer Provincial Park is also a favourite destination for bird watchers and ornithologists. A viewing platform over the marsh, approximately 1 km from the parking lot, provides the opportunity to observe various types of ducks, Trumpeter swans, Bald eagles and turkey vultures, as well as beavers.
Approximately 11 kilometres of easy walking trails weave through the park along Holden Lake and through the marsh areas. The trails are forested, primarily with mature coastal Douglas fir, red alder and big-leaf maple. Trails are not marked but are easily identifiable and well maintained. Hemer Park provides day-use opportunities at Holden Lake, a peaceful setting for paddlers, boaters and anglers."
We spent some time in Hemer Provincial Park recently and loved it. We thought there should be another cache here to motivate others to take a lovely walk here as well. While we were strolling along the trails, we could hear loud sounds nearby and a member of the group thought there were loud cars nearby, honking at each other. It turned out to be the Trumpeter Swans on one of the lakes. It is a very interesting sound.
The cache is a small small or a large micro. It's hidden in a fairly obvious location and it's important that it get placed back in it's original spot. If it were to move it could be consumed by it's host into the darkness which we didn't check for actual depth but we did reach around without touching the bottom.
