Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Waller Mill Reservoir
"Paddler's Paradise Geo-Art Series"

* * * Geocaches are NOT located at the posted coordinates * * *


The Paddler's Paradise 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.

* * * CACHE LOCATION: N37° 1A.BCD W76° 4E.FGH * * *

All of the caches in the series contain a small plastic vial inside of the bison tube which holds the log. For the caches listed below, their inner vials have been painted a specific color. Use the chart to determine the coordinates for this well-earned bonus cache:

For easy reference, you will notice that each of the caches in the Paddler's Paradise GeoArt Series have a star within the cache names. The 8 caches with SOLID STARS [★] are those which contain clues to locate this bonus cache.

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 parking, boat launch, and park office coordinates, reference the "Additional Waypoints" listed on the "WM✰PP #1" cache page. A park brochure providing information on the park's amenities and fees is available in the "related web page" link.


A big thank you to the friendly staff of Waller Mill Park and the City of Williamsburg for supporting geocaching on this beautiful reservoir!
