Geocache Description:

This hidden gem will be the highlight of your paddle trip.


The cache is only accessible by paddlecraft.  Do not attempt it from the nearby road since there is a sheer cliff and it is private property.

GPS reception in the grotto is spotty so an easy hint is given.

Paddle up to the falls.  There will be a "hill" on your right. Then paddle back out to the entrance where it is easier to de-yak.

Climb to the top, snap a few photos, and then work down a few feet in the direction of the falls.

Use care walking on the slippery rocks but otherwise there is no need to take any risks to make the find.
Please rehide well since this is a high muggle area.


The photo on the cache page was taken very close to the container.

All caches in the Bruin Creek area can be found on a ten mile round trip.

Water Level

Normal summer lake level is 45.5'.
The water level needs to be at least 44' at this gauge to allow paddling to this and other caches.
At winter pool level it would require slogging through deep mud.

Boat ramp waypoints are listed.
