Geocache Description:


This is a family friendly Seaway Trail cache hidden along the Erie Canal at a very unique location.


The Medina Culvert, built in 1823, is located about 1¾ miles east of the Medina terminal and can be reached by the towpath. A culvert was chosen as more economical than a bridge because the canal crosses a valley here on a berm, and the surrounding land is some 20 feet lower than the canal. It's the only place on the NY canal system where a road crosses under the canal.

This cache is placed as part of the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Geotrail, located within the Central Lake Ontario (CLO) Region. There are 15 caches hidden within this region, and geocachers finding ten or more Great Lakes Seaway Trail Geotrail caches within this region can earn a free Central Lake Ontario Region geocoin.

This cache contains a unique hole punch which must stay with the cache. Use this hole punch in space # 12 on the Central Lake Ontario Region page of your Official Great Lakes Seaway Trail Logbook. This hole punch is NOT a trade item.
