Geocache Description:

A traditional cache hidden on Camelot Island with permission from Parks Canada


Camelot Island is part of the Thousand Islands National Park.

You will need a boat and boating skills to get to the island.

There are docks on the east side of the island, and ramps at the northeast and south points. There are mooring cans near the (small boat) ramps.  The channel between Camelot and Niagara Islands is very shallow...use caution or go another way round.  Several dangerous shoals near the docks are marked with white bouys.

The hard part of this cache is getting to the island.  The cache can be found under the top step of a short staircase which is part of the path around the island.  This island has many cliffs, rock outcroppings, and changes in elevation.  You will find many stairs on the path around the island.  The path is a complete circle, and its well worth the time to explore the entire island.  Be on the lookout for rare birds here.

FROM PARKS CANADA:
Camelot Island's rocky cliffs, great bowed white pine, deep water swimming, and the island’s relatively remote location make Camelot a perfect destination for paddlers. Camelot is a rugged, well-forested island that is home to a wealth of our avian companions. Listen to the sparrows, orioles, wrens and warblers along the relaxing hiking trails that skirt the island perimeter. A dinghy dock in the southwest bay leads to several quiet campsites, a privy and a picnic shelter. If you spend the night don’t be spooked by the hoots of a great-horned owl rumoured to reside in the depths of the woods.
