🌊 Geocache Description: Lake of the WoodsÂ
Location: Lake of the Woods (Schkam Lake), near Hope, BC
Just a few minutes north of Hope along the Trans-Canada Highway lies a small but striking rest stop known as Lake of the Woods, or Schkam Lake. With its emerald-green water, mountain backdrop, and easy access, it’s no wonder this spot draws swimmers, anglers chasing stocked rainbow trout, and families looking for a peaceful picnic. On sunny weekends, it can get busy—so a little stealth may be part of the adventure.
This cache invites you to step just slightly off the usual routine and take a closer look at the edges of this well-loved place. You won’t need to damage anything, climb anything risky, or disturb the area. The hide is meant to reward careful observation rather than force or frustration.
Take a moment to enjoy the view, the fresh air, and the quiet moments between passing visitors. Then let your GPS and your instincts guide you. Sometimes the best advice a place like this can give… is simply to slow down and really look around.
Please be respectful of the area, mindful of muggles, and return everything exactly as found so the next cacher can enjoy the same little mystery.
Happy caching!
