Most Caches in the GeoArt are located a short walk off the paved Welland Canal Parkway Trail. The trail is wheelchair friendly, but most caches are not.

The Welland Canal Parkway Trail is a 40 kilometer paved trail located along the west side of the Welland Canal. The trail is best used from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash. Take your bike aboard the free Port Robinson Ferry on your way to any Caches on the other side. The Ferry is open only in the summer months..

Many are micros or small containers that don't have room for swag or TBs, please bring your own pen. If Caching as a group please sign a group name to save space on logsheets.
