Welcome to the walking trail south of Ferris Provincial Park. This path south of the border to the provincial park has been used by locals for many years as a footpath access to the hiking trails in the park and for walking dogs. Occasionally a local will bring an ATV on the trail, but a lot of the time, the trail is unused and allows visitors a peaceful view of the river where geese, ducks and swans like to gather. As you walk north, closer to the border of the provincial park, it will be wet in most seasons, flooded in spring, and iced over in winter, so be careful. Boots and icers are recommended in appropriate seasons. There are prickly ash trees lining the trail in places and, as always, watch for ticks and poison ivy. Because the path is not widely used, you might have to trample down the snow after a heavy snowfall. Otherwise, it's a quiet short walk affording beautiful views of the Trent River with lots of wildlife. Enjoy !
This is a traditional letterbox geocache. The coordinates will have you stop on the foot trail. You must follow these instructions to find the cache, or check the detailed hint.
1. Turn east toward the farmer's field.
2. Walk 20 steps toward the clump of 4 large deciduous tree trunks by the fence.
3. Look behind the south trunk for an ammo can hanging on a branch.
4. Use the stamp pad if you wish, but please leave it inside the container for the next user.
