Geocache Description:

A scenic 1km hike to a quiet lake in MacPherson's Mills. Elevation changes along the trail are steep in places, but you won't need any special gear other than a good set of lungs.

You can park your car at N45 32.610, W062 30.795, and from there you'll see a trail heading Northeast from the old mill building. Lace up your hiking boots and off you go.

When you arrive at the first fork in the trail, bear left, no matter what your GPS tells you. You will also have to walk past the point where your GPS tells you the cache is 90 degrees to your right for a bit to get to the next trail, unless you fancy some bushwhacking, stream fording and climbing a steep bank.

The cache is at the edge of a ravine, near a small waterfall. GPS Accuracy will fade in and out on your way due to heavy tree cover, but comes in fine at the cache site. The cache is a small, flat transparent container with a Geocaching logo on the lid. Due to its small size and low traffic, it's not suitable for Travel Bugs or trackables. There are lots of better places for those back in town. Please hide it as well as you found it when leaving.

Enjoy!
