Geocache Description:

Located in Algonquin Provincial Park, on Tea Lake. It can be accessed from either the Tea Lake dam picnic area, or the Tea Lake campground depending on how much paddling you want to do... if you feel really adventerous you could even rent your canoe from the portage store on canoe lake and paddle all the way to the cache =)


Originally owned by: Dave (Think), and Glenn

This cache is located in Algonquin Provincial Park, in Ontario Canada. A permit is required to use the park, and therefore one is needed to access this cache.

The cache is located on Tea Lake off highway sixty in the park. For the short route you can start from the Tea Lake dam picnic area, or for a longer route you can start from the beach at the Tea Lake campground (or even longer route is from the portage store on canoe lake, where you can rent canoes!). Either will work. It would be a big mistake to try and walk to this cache, it must be accessed by canoe, however since the lake is relativly small, it is an easy paddle, and wind is rarely a problem here.

A "Canoe routes of Algonquin park" map would definately be a good idea especially if you decide to approach this from one of the two distant access points.

The original contents include:

  • 4 AA batteries
  • Algonquin Park Post card
  • Energizer Pocket Flashlight
  • Fire Starter
  • Plastic water-tight match container
  • Waterproof Matches
  • Toilet Paper =)
  • Log and pens
