Picking the Quests for You

The Canalway Questing season runs from April 15 through November 15. Each Canalway Quest reflects the personality of its authors and the setting. Use the table below to decide which adventures might be best for you! Visitor's Update - From time-to-time, Quests maintenance takes place. 1) The Beaver Marsh Quest (CVNP) & 2) A Canal Mule's Quest (Stark County) are both temporarily off-line. While you can enjoy following these two Quests - there are no Quest boxes in place.

Remember - you only need a pen or pencil, and the Quest clues - so download your Quest before you head out. When you find a Quest box - 1) Collect its unique stamp, 2) Sign its logbook, and 3) Then re-hide it for others. Some people prefer using their own signature stamp & ink pad or marker to sign in at the logbook, and also collect Quest stamps in a personal journal. Unlike geocaching, Questing requires no GPS unit and no trinkets are exchanged.
