Geocache Description:

Hosted by: Atlantic Canada Geocaching Association, Parks Canada, and Fortress of Louisbourg Association.


Come and enjoy a day of discoveries and activities Join us at Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site of Canada for the inaugural Geocache Event.

Six new geocaches will be launched to coincide with this event - a whole new way to see the Fortress! Back in 1744, The Fortress of Louisbourg was one of the busiest harbours in North America and one of France's key centres of trade and military strength in the New World.

Geocachers will first check-in at the Louisbourg firehall. Once there you will receive the agenda, including the waypoints necessary as you will be exploring the Fortress.

An Intro to Geocaching will be made available based on demand. Sign-up sheet will be at the check-in site. The session will be held at the Fortress. Once done finding the geocaches, geocachers can come and socialize in one of 18th century taverns where warm drink (coffee, tea & hot chocolate) will be available.
