GeoCaching graphic

Geocaching combines the fun of online gaming with the thrill of an outdoor adventure! It's like a statewide treasure hunt played with a GPS device. You find the coordinates online, then set out to find the boxes, called caches, hidden in 42 Georgia state parks. Once you locate the cache (and the prize inside) you can share your experience with other geocachers online.

There are over a million active caches around the world and now with the Georgia State Parks Geo-Challenge you can "Get Out. Get Dirty. Get Fit." The entire state is waiting to be explored!
