This multicache leads you around Riverwalk Park, which has become quite a spot to enjoy the Halifax River with its recent renovations. You'll learn some local history as well.
There is plenty of parking, open dawn to dusk. Best times to hunt is early morning or evening, because it is a busy park. More renovations are coming, but in the meantime, this cache is located in the lesser traversed area. Please BYOP.
