Geocache Description:


A traditional cache in the Baxter Conservation Area
Situated on 80 hectares along the shores of the Rideau River, Baxter is a beautiful example of river floodplain. Explore, year-round, the mixed hardwood forests, meadows and wetlands over the 5 km of trails and visit the unique Filmore Park Nut Grove with its many species of nut and bean trees and shrubs. Baxter boasts a large number of picnicking areas and large covered shelter adjacent to one of the cleanest and most attractive beaches on the Rideau.

This cache is located along the river where it is obvious how low this area is relative to the river. There may be times when this area is flooded.

This cache is placed for a work team event on December 14. It would be lovely if you could wait to chase the FTF on this one until after 3:00 PM on Dec 14, 2017. After that, official FTF honours (such as they are) will be yours.


This cache has been placed with the approval of the Baxter Conservation Area Manager, Andrea Wood.

Pay attention to the password found on the back of each log. It may come in handy.

Good luck and have fun!
