This cache is part of the 2025 Albany Geocoin Challenge. See below for more details.
In the 1930's, Waverly Park was just a gravel pit used for construction of local roadways. After construction was finished, Cox Creek was diverted to create what is now Waverly Lake. Waverly Park was the original site of the Timber Carnival from 1941 to 1959. Today, people can fish from the dock, bring a picnic, or walk the path around the lake where they can view the fountain and whimsical, oversized wood duck.
The bridge along Salem Avenue is a great place to view the iconic Waverly Lake duck. While you're taking in the view, walk over to the TOTT waypoint, on the street side of the bridge, and carefully retrieve the tool to "fish" for the cache at the posted coords. Please replace the TOTT when you are finished. BYOP
Please use stealthy as you have fun! This is a very busy path.
The 2025 AGC is a series of 15 physical caches, plus 2 sets of Adventure Labs, all highlighting Albany's Parks. Passports for the coin challenge can be picked up and returned to Comfort Suites at 100 Opal Ct, Albany. When completed, cachers can earn a limited edition geocoin, while supplies last. One coin per household, please.
** Update** 8/17/25 There are about 50 passports and coins left.
