Reccomended hikes/caches near Dunnvillle ON

[+debaere]

Heya. I am in Dunnville ON for the next two weeks. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for some must-do caches or some must-do hikes in the area. My travel range is about an hours drive (or a bit more if along the QEW - I'll be heading to Toronto for a day or two after New Years). My hiking range is 5-7 miles.

 

Any suggestions appreciated. Also if anyone wants to go on a group hunt/hike I would be interested as well.

 

Cheers

Dave

Howdy!

 

I'd recommend the 4 or 5 caches in the same tract of land near GCZVB4 - Marshall Memorial Forest. I'm not sure what took me so long to grab the caches in there, but it was a nice pleasant walk.

 

Another one to get while in the area is Ontario's oldest cache GC2B4 - Deer Bait. Again, a nice decently lengthed hike in a beautiful area.

If you head north towards the QEW, a great place to hike is on the Bruce Trail. A good starting point might be Balls Falls Conservation Area. There are several caches in the park (including Ball's Falls GCA090) and many more along the Bruce in either direction.

You could head out highway 3 to the east to fort erie and do the power trail there, about 10 or 11 kilometers, 45 caches, most about 5 to 10 feet off the trail, then of course how to get back to the car you left in erie beach. 5 more just got published, if you get out first thing in the morning you cold get 5 FTF. Bush's Friendship Trail Run, most difficult to find are number 37 and 40.

Ontario's oldest cache should be within striking distance for you GC2B4. If you're heading out to St Catherines, let the forum know. There's a lot of cool caches out in that direction.
