This paddle caching Geo-Art series consists of 60 caches located on the Waller Mill Park Reservoir. Caches #1 thru #30 are located on the lower portion of the reservoir. Caches #31 thru 60 are located on the upper portion of the reservoir. Both sections are connected by a tunnel that runs under Airport Road.
Caching the series in numerical order will result in a total route of 14 miles (7.5 miles on the lower reservoir and 6.5 miles on the upper reservoir). The boat ramp & parking is located in the middle of the two sections.
Containers in the series are identical and have been designed and placed for the long-haul: brown, textured bison tubes with "Rite in the Rain" logs located in small plastic inner vials. Viton o-rings and stainless-steel leader wires have been used to prevent UV degradation. Plan to bring a small screwdriver or tweezers to assist in accessing the logs, in addition to your own pen.
The following are NOT permitted in the reservoir:
- Swimming
- Gasoline motors
- Beaching of boats
- Inflatables & Stand-Up Paddle Boards (SUPs)
Park entrance fee is $2.00. Launch fee for personal canoes/kayaks is $2.00. Canoe & kayak rentals are available seasonally. Jon boats (as well as motors/batteries) are available year round.
For a park brochure providing information on the park's amenities and fees, please see the "related web page" link. Parking, launch ramp, and park office coordinates are provided in the "Additional Waypoints" section.
A big thank you to the friendly staff of Waller Mill Park and the City of Williamsburg for supporting geocaching on this beautiful reservoir!
