Another little known limestone solution cave in the park.
The cave/cache is located in Rockwood Park, Saint John NB. This is one of many ways to get to it: Make your way to Foster Thurston Drive. At the bottom of the long hill adjacent to Ashburn Lake look for the white sign “ NOTICE - ABSOLUTELY NO CARRYING OR DISCHARGING FIRE ARMS WITHIN ROCKWOOD PARK - BY ORDER” on the west side of the road. Park and head into the woods behind the sign. The cave is a 2 minute walk from the sign. As you’re walking through the woods you may notice a stream on your right. Water from this stream runs out of the cave. Coordinates for the cave are: N 45 19.342 W 66 03.687. Once you find the cave it’s a short one minute walk to the cache. Cache is a camo plastic cereal container. GPS differential was 3 m when the cache was stashed. Visit the gallery for pictures we’ve taken and please add more of your own. Good hunting!
