LHR-GT #22: Clearfield Riverwalk

Take a relaxing stroll along the Clearfield Riverwalk, a scenic one-mile pathway beside the West Branch of the Susquehanna River that blends natural beauty with small-town charm. Located just steps from downtown Clearfield, this inviting riverside park features a peaceful bench-lined walkway, a well-designed amphitheater for community events and performances, and a dock area perfect for launching canoes or kayaks, fishing, or even taking a refreshing swim. With 102 miles of the West Branch flowing through Clearfield County, the Riverwalk also reflects the river’s historic importance as a driver of the lumber industry, when log drives carried harvested timber downstream to mills and markets, fueling the region’s economic growth in the 19th century. Today, it serves as a welcoming hub for enjoying the region’s abundant water recreation while remaining conveniently close to local shops and dining. Click here to learn more

TO FIND THIS CACHE, make your way to the posted coordinates and look for the LHR signpost marker. If you've done any other caches in this series, then this cache should look familiar. Use the lock code 0102 to access the logbook and code word, and please replace everything exactly as found.

TO OPEN THE LOCK, insert the four-digit combination and press the button on the front to release the shackle. Remove the lock at an angle, or by closing the shackle in the 'unlocked' position and sliding it diagonally. Once complete, replace the lock from right to left, ensuring the button is facing the front for the next cacher. Thanks.
