Geocache Description:


The original Lighthouse was built in 1988 to commemorate the town’s 75th birthday; however it was plagued with building deficiencies and later demolished. With the town’s 100th birthday celebration in 2013, the Sylvan Lake Rotary Club took on the challenge of building another lighthouse in the same location. Part of the fund raising initiative for the rebuilding was the selling of engraved bricks that were placed in the lighthouse foundation and the decking around it.

“The new lighthouse now stands tall as a symbol of community building and the strength of collectively rallying behind a common goal.”

“Besides being a popular landmark, the new and improved beacon came equipped with a series of LED lights that can add a little lustre to local events or causes.”

You can park near the trailhead in the parking lot ($) or park anywhere along the beach ($) and enjoy a walk along the paved trail to the cache. Maybe even grab an ice cream cone along the way.
