Green Head Cave

Once parked go over the gate and take the path (keeping to the left each time it splits). At about 675m from where you parked you will come to an opening where the power lines intersect the path. Now turn left and take the path along the power lines. When you reach the second power line tower (I think its number 67) you should see a path into the woods to your right. Take this path to the top of the cliff (it will turn into a footpath from a ATV path after awhile). If you now try to find a path to your right it will take you down the hill to the valley below so you can look up at the cave in the cliff wall. BE VERY CAREFUL. The cliff is VERY HIGH and the edge is some places gradually slopes towards the edge with loose gravel.

According to Don McAlpines survey of the cave in 1978 the cave's length is 64m and depth, 26.7m. Most of those folks who have explored it have entered using rock climbing gear due to it's entrance halfway up the cliffside. There is a homemade cedar pole bridge that leads to it but I personally wouldn't want to trust it. The cave is located at N45 16.842 W66 7.515
