Grab a coffee from the The Old Bistro and go for a hunt for our Gateway to Trail Treasures Geocache in the Town of Fairview for a chance to win prizes!

Once you’ve found this geocache go for a walk! This is the gateway to Cumming Lake Trail – 11 kms of trails invite you to explore the Cummings Lake area, the Fairview Golf Course, the Fairview Pioneer Museum and enjoy some beautiful Peace country views. This trail system is recommended for all skill levels. Wildlife is abundant in this area and with partially paved paths it’s perfect for both walkers, runners and bikers to enjoy. Bring a writing utensil to write in this geocache’s log.

Interesting Fact: This is also the trailhead for a beautiful Nordic ski track which is maintained throughout the winter months!

Grab a bite to eat at Board 'n' Barrel and then go for a hunt for our Under to go Over Geocache in the Town of Peace River for a chance to win prizes!

Peace River's NEWEST (2021) bridge has a beautiful pedestrian walkway built underneath it. It spans the entire majestic Peace River and walking on it gives you views of the river, town and valley not otherwise seen from land. Walk it end to end and back (about 45 minutes) or walk part way. Great for all seasons. Picture huge jagged ice chunks several feet thick in the winter! Gorgeous! The east side of the walkway connects to a paved walking trail along the dyke and into downtown (past River Front Park and the 12 Foot Davis statue). The west side connects to a paved walking trail up the west hill. It's well-lit for evening or late-night walks as well. The open-air bridge walkway is suspended underneath the traffic bridge, how cool is that for kids to experience?? Don't worry, this is NOT a rope suspension bridge, it's part of the design and engineering. Bring a writing utensil to write in this geocache’s log.

Interesting Fact: The cost of building this bridge was $180 million and took four years to complete.

Go for breakfast out at Farmers Restaurant and then go on a hunt for our Hidden Heroes Geocache in the Village of Nampa for a chance to win prizes!

This firehall is manned by volunteers that spend much of their time offering emergency services to the area whenever needed. Most small communities in this area have similar situations. All these volunteers really are “Hidden Heroes”! The friendly village of Nampa is just 30 km south of the Town of Peace River. The Nampa and District Pioneer Museum is open during the summer and serves as a tourist information centre. The museum was formed in 1978 to collect and preserve the area’s culture and artifacts. The Nampa Municipal Library offers internet services. The Nampa & District Agriculture Complex is home to an arena and curling rink. It is a centre for a variety of winter activities. Bring a writing utensil to write in this geocache’s log.

Interesting Fact: The Village of Nampa is known as “A place close to the Heart” because the Heart River flows near the village and Nampa is a Cree word meaning “the Place”.

Grab a bite at the Dixonville General Store and after go for a hunt for our Enchanted Forest Geocache in the County of Northern Lights for a chance to win prizes!

The entry to the forest trail is marked by a large sign with flags and is adjacent to a footbridge. Cross over the bridge (beware of the old troll that may still be lurking) and you are onto the trail. The trail is approximately 1.5km’s and offers a great way to stretch your legs while taking in the sights, sounds and smells of a typical boreal forest. Along the trail you will find informative signs highlighting various aspects of the flora and fauna. A variety of birdhouses and even bat houses have been installed throughout the forest to encourage nesting. For the young or very young at heart, look for a tiny enchanted forest but be very quiet as you never know what or who you may see in there. The main portion of the trail is packed and groomed for easier walking or cross-country skiing. The side loop is intentionally not groomed as it lends itself well to snowshoeing and off-trail exploration. A 50-metre section of the trail lovingly referred to as “Chickadee Alley”, features several large bird feeders complete with bins of seeds. Feel free to fill the feeders while you watch and listen. It is not unusual to feed over 600 pounds of seeds here each winter not to mention suet and other treats! These feeders are primarily stocked in winter months only. From spring months until late fall months the small forest critters are able to forage just fine within the vast hearty taiga. Bring a writing utensil to write in this geocache’s log.
