Salmon Trail is one of the many trails starting in the village of Boat of Garten. This circular walk runs along Kinchurdy Road to the edge of the village, across the railway and returns alongside the River Spey. Distance 2.5 miles (4km); approx. 1 hour walking (without geocaching) and is also a good cycling route. Please keep dogs on leads near livestock and cross the railway with care in case the Steam Train is passing.
This series of caches are all along the riverside stretch of the trail within 20m of the main path. No caches have been put on Kinchurdy road in case you wish to walk along the woodland paths and find the caches in nearby Deshar Woods. There is limited parking near BoG Crossroads cache and a layby near the golf course (see waypoint on Salmon Trail – Golf course). Caches have been placed with kind permission of Seafield Estate.
Fallen branches, rotting stumps and dead trees are the lifeblood of any woodland. Decaying wood recycles nutrients back into the soil, provides food and nurseries for beetle larvae and host spectacular collections of fungi. This cache has room for swaps and small TBs, but bring your own pen.
