The Black River in the Regional Municipality of York originates in the Oak Ridges Moraine and flows north to Lake Simcoe. Agriculture is the most important use of the land in this river's watershed. In the spring, the water levels are high enough to allow for pleasant canoeing and kayaking trips from Sutton.
The water flow is calm enough for beginners and families using canoes or kayaks. The slow moving current makes this an easy paddle in both northbound and southbound directions. Bird viewing is excellent in April. Be on the lookout for geese, ducks, osprey, red-wing blackbirds, muskrats and turtles along the way.
All caches are hanging in cedar trees located along the river's edge. When hidden this cache was above water as it was placed from my kayak in late July. There should be no need to leave your water craft to retrieve this cache but water levels can vary significantly and log jams can suddenly appear or change.
