Geocache Description:


The Lake Farm Lake on Lake Side Road in the Kragga Kamma area west of the city is the biggest fresh water lake in Port Elizabeth.  The lake is quite a popular fishing spot but to get access you need to belong to a club which will organise you permission to go in.

After torrential rains in July 2012 many areas of Port Elizabeth were either flooded or have been damaged by falling trees and other debris. The low lying valley areas such as the Baakens valley & Lake Farm were flooded and roads were closed all over Port Elizabeth as well as the rest of the Eastern Cape.

The cache is a small container housed by a very delicate matter. PLEASE make sure you retrieve, handle and replace the container (in its housing) with utmost care. The vegetation in the Lake Farm area should not be destroyed whilst searching for this well hidden cache.

See attached picture of how the lake looks today with flood water still lapping over parts of the road.
