Geocaching
Geocaching is permitted in Gatineau Park, but only in close proximity to official trails (at less than 3 metres) and outside of the integral conservation zone (which includes the Eardley Escarpment). Caches must be placed at least 15 metres from lakes, waterways and wetlands. Furthermore, geocaching is not permitted in the area surrounding Pink Lake, which has a very fragile ecosystem. With the collaboration of the members of www.geocaching.com, a plan is under way to relocate the caches currently found within the integral conservation zone.
Geocaching is a great way to discover Gatineau Park. Help ensure that it remains a permitted activity, by complying with the Park’s conservation mandate when you engage in geocaching.
Please help protect the Park, each time you visit.
