Another of NB’s natural wonders, formed in limestone.
The cave/cache is located in Quispamsis. This is one way to get there:
If traveling from Saint John, make your way to Hwy1 East (Mackay Highway). Take Exit 141 (Quispamsis/Kingston). Turn right onto Parkside Road. Turn left onto Redwood Lane. Immediately after driving past Pine Ln (on your right) you should see a black lamp post, then an old road with a boulder blocking access to it. Park and walk down this old road. You’ll pass gates to the pond on your left. When you reach the end of the road follow the footpath into the woods. As soon as you’re in the woods turn left and walk towards the brook. The entrance to the cave is right in front of you (see pics). A small trickle of water from the brook may be running into the cave mouth. IF YOU DECIDE TO EXPLORE THE CAVE PLEASE TAKE APPROPRIATE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. The cache is located on the other side of the brook about 100m from the cave. Cache is a plastic cereal container wrapped with camo duck tape. Photos of the cave & area that we’ve taken can be seen by visiting the gallery. Please add some of your own. We hope you enjoy your visit to Deadman’s Cave. Good luck in finding the cache.
GPS WAAS accuracy was a lousy 15m when the cache was stashed so PLEASE USE THE HINT.

Deadman’s Cave has been known to the locals for quite a while. The cave hasn’t been overly vandalized (you’ll notice a bucket seat from a car in there with you). There’s an active stream flowing through the cave. Once you crawl through the entrance tunnel it opens up and the stream is to your right. You’ll hear it. If you follow the brook outside the cave downstream, on the left bank, there is another cave entrance with water flowing from it (see pics).
