Geocaching

Geocaching is an outdoor game using hand-held global positioning systems (GPS) devices. It's really an inexpensive, interactive high-tech treasure hunt that's a great way to learn geography. Participants use location coordinates to find caches. Some caches are easy to find, while others are more difficult. The biggest reward is the thrill of the search and the discovery of a place where you have never been. Geocaching should have minimal impact to the environment and conscientious land use ethics should be followed.

Florida's state parks are full of opportunities to get outside and explore! And exploration is even more fun these days with the advent of geocaching enabling modern day adventurers to use hand-held global positioning systems to 'treasure hunt' without digging or compromising sensitive natural and cultural resources. Our state parks play host to some of the most scenic locations for caches in the nation.
