Geocache Description:

One of the last wild areas left within the GTA. Approx. 1km Hike round trip. Through a Wilderness area (hard packed trail 90% of way) , Poison Ivy Posted Signs.

Parking N 43 37.384' W 79 33.985

POSTED Sign: Poison Ivy Area, Dog Leash Free Zone
Also note: BEWARE During EXTREME RAINFALL/EARLY SPRING these are flood plains. There might be some times of the year where the cache might be unreachable ( I've yet to ever see one of these times at this location but if your there at these times, I'd love to see a picture), also there could be some poison plants in the area, and if you have a fear of dogs off the leash or possible packs of dogs you might have to pass this one up.
But note there is a hard packed well used trail almost right to the cache, mostly it's smooth sailing to the cache.

This kinda is and was to be part of a larger park that was never fully completed, but currently it's just growing wild.
This part of that trail starts in Mississauga, and is a Dog Leash Free Zone, and is part of a floodland system of Etobicoke Creek.

From the parking, follow the main trail, it's just over 500 meters along the trail. And the Cache itself is about 5 or so meters off the trail.
The trail goes on even further, and just past the cache is what you see posted in the picture. It's a nice area, but there has been some illegal dumping over the years, some of it has grown over, but you'll see the stuff on the valley hill.
I would have placed the cache deeper down the trail but past the picture shown is an area that needs us to Urge the City of Mississaga to enforce those companys to clean up!
