SIGNAL AND TRACKER AT EAST WILSON LAKE
Wilson Creek Geocaching Adventure Video
The "Wilson Creek Geo-Adventure" will involve approximately 100 kms of driving.
35 kms is on a paved highway. The other 65 kms is on the Wilson Creek FSR which is described as a good, 2 wheel drive, gravel road, and while that is mostly true the section from Wilson Lake East along Wilson Lake to Wilson Lake West has become really rough and there is going to be some pinstripping. Having said that if you don't want to damage your vehicle you can turn around at East Wilson Lake and then drive up the Wilson Lake Road on the other side of Box Lake.
In order to locate the final cache: "Wilson Creek Geo-Adventure Final" you must visit ten caches. Each cache will have a clue written on the lid as well as in the logbook. Write the clue down.
This Adventure will take you to several pristine mountain lakes and spectacular waterfalls with plenty of opportunities for camping, hiking, and fishing. To get the most enjoyment out of this caching series we strongly recommend bringing your camping gear. Also don't forget your camera, bug spray, and fishing rods. As always, remember to be bear aware.
Wilson Lake is located approx. 15 kms from Nakusp at an elevation of 970 meters (3182 feet). According to the INTERNET it is reached via a good logging road. We found that the section along Wilson Lake is some of the roughest along the route. Wilson Lake's fishing is described as some of the best rainbow trout fishing in the Kootenays with fish of sizes up to 3 kg (6.5 lb). Kokanee are also abundant in the lake. There is a recreation site at both ends of the lake that provide campsites and a place to put in a small boat.
The East side is very popular and at the time of this cache placement it was full of muggles so we opted to put the physical cache farther along the road with a view of the recreation site.
As this is a stand-a-lone cache, you are welcome to just log this cache if you don't have time to take in the entire Adventure.
