Victoria Falls is located at the end of a seasonal access road which is a continuation of the Black River Road.

From Washago head out Coopers Falls Road till you pass Coopers Falls, turn right on Black River Road.

This Cache can also be reached from Sebright thru Sadowa.


 

The Cache is located about 1 mile beyond Victoria bridge. Victoria Bridge is easily accessible by car after May 15th and before the snow flies but I would not go beyond the bridge without a serious 4X4 and even then -unless you really like a challenge and have 4X4 experience- I would do the hike. The trail will follow the river until you reach a side stream and a small 4X4 bridge, follow the 4X4 trail from that point up thru the rock cut and into the highlands.

The area is part of the Ganaraska Hiking Trail Wilderness Section from Moore Falls on highway #35 to Sadowa. This is some of the most rugged wilderness hiking you will find and should you wish to attempt the full trek please contact the Ganaraska Trail group to find out more information. In the Ganaraska Hiking Trail binder the warning states "Rugged terrain! Challenging! For experienced hikers only DO NOT hike this section alone." Of course you shouldn't have much trouble getting to the Cache! The Ganaraska trail is usually marked with white flags/paint and the trail goes right past the Cache. If you enjoy hiking back here and would like to try some day hikes look for the Montgomery Creek side trail, the Ragged Rapids side trail or the High Falls side trail. The Cache is located near the Black River Junction.

FYI ... the road is closed from March 1 to May 15 due to poor conditions until things dry up a bit. The road was in good shape May 16th when I placed the Cache.
