Geocache Description:


Ocmulgee Heritage Trail:

I'm currently talking with the Bibb County Department of Parks and Recreation to let me place a cache along the greenway.

As part of the NewTown Macon Project this 1.6 mile (one-way) trail is part of the planned trail up to the old water plant and maybe even Juliette but who knows when it will be finished and is a welcomed attraction to this site. Once merely a simple gravel boat ramp used to launch The Great Rubber Ducky Race (you locals know you remember that) and nothing but sand everywhere else this trail is a nice improvement to the area. Hopefully more will be done to create a "river-walk" atmosphere such as maybe adding a shop or restaurant or two along the back edge of the trail up next to the interstate, then this place would become highly popular among tourists and locals. It would also be a great place to place a cache or two.

Due to the many different answers for lights got, to get your smilie you must take a picture of yourself at each end of the trail. For the north end you must have you, GPS, I-16 overpass, river and Rose Hill Cemetery (yes its possible, if you cant figure it out read the hints) and at the south end you need you, GPS, the road bridge, river and the Park across the way. The hike round trip is about 3.2 miles. And if you don't mind the extra .2 mile walk you can walk to Gateway Park across the river and log another find. However you it possible for those who know a thing or three about the trail and local roads you can get your pictures without doing hardly any walking!!

Happy Hunting!
