Geocache Description:


Welcome to the St. Clements Historic Geocache Tour!

All of our sites on our tour are located in areas of historical significance. Each location contains a cache with historic geocache cards. These collector cards contain historic information about each site. We hope that you will take a card from each site, attempting to collect one card from every site on our tour.

There is archaeological evidence of plus or minus 6000 years of First Nations settlement along the river and particularly at Lockport Heritage Park by the foot of the St. Andrews rapids. Evidence of pottery and tools at the Lockport site indicated the presnce of people of the Laurel culture from the 14th century. This settlement used the rapids not only to fish in the very abundant fishery of the time, but also as a very well defined farming region.

This cache is located in Lockport, Manitoba. Travel along highway 44 until you reach the Red River. Relax in the park and enjoy the scenery.

Geocache safely and enjoy!
