Spent a few hours at five islands provincial park in nova scotia to place the geocache for the 2nd series of geocaches within the park system.

The park is also host to the launch event on jun 18 2011. There are a few other caches in the area, so the day should be a good one for the community who haven't been to this area of nova scotia before.

The trails are nice, but some area are overgrown and numerous fallen tress lay across the trail. This isn't a big concern, but in the majority of trails within provincial control, you don't usually see this.

Trail markers are not totally clear, in fact we got lost and followed an old trail that eventually ended at the main service road, but was overgrown and clearly not used anymore. We followed this trail since it was the wider and seemed to be the most used than the actual trail.

Keep your pets on leash here. The park hugs along the cliffs and it is dangerous for pets to venture out.
