GCC#057 Beware of Crocs Traditional Geocache

Caution, danger may lurk in the shallows.

Originally named Devil's Lake, the name was changed to Salerno to commemorate the prominent role of the Canadian Army in the Salerno landings of 1943 at the Italian city of that name.

Approx. 6 km long, Salerno Lake is narrow with an average depth of 7.6m (25’). Two spots are as deep as 14m (45’). The primary inflow, at the southwest, is Salerno Creek from White Lake. The primary outflow, at the northwest, is also Salerno Creek, which flows over a dam to the Irondale River, then via the Burnt River, the Kawartha Lakes, the Otonabee River and the Trent River to Lake Ontario. The Salerno Crocs probably swam from Florida, up the coast, in the St. Lawrence River to Lake Ontario then made their way upstream to Salerno Lake. Seems pretty plausible to me.
