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.
This cache is located at the start of the Brokenhead Trail. The Brokenhead Trail is a 2.6km (round trip) trail through calcareous fen, cedar swamp, boreal forest and wetland.
The Brokenhead Wetland Interpretive Trail provides a rare glimpse into the flora and ecology of a calcareous fen - one of the rarest wetland types in Canada. This trail consists mostly of wooden boardwalk through boreal forest and along the edge of a fen wetland.
Most of Manitoba's orchids can be found within the cedar swamp and fen portions of this trail. Marly pools of carbonate precipitate can be found along the beautifully constructed boardwalk, as can a number of carnivorous plants including pitcher plant and sundew.
A number of interpretive displays along the trail explain the natural and indigenous importance of the wetland. Please respect the cultural and ecological sensitivity of the natural habitats along the trail.
Geocache safely and enjoy!
