What is Geocaching? 

Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity where participants use a smartphone or GPS device to search for hidden containers, called “Geocaches,” placed at specific coordinates around the world. Each cache typically contains a logbook for finders to sign and sometimes small tradeable items, creating a real-world treasure hunt experience. Players use clues and location data shared through the app or website to navigate to these spots, which can be hidden in parks, cities, forests, and landmarks. Geocaching blends exploration, problem-solving, and outdoor adventure, encouraging people to discover new places they might not otherwise visit.

Discovering Lumber Hertitage Through History and Education

Getting Started

Geocaching is free to play; all you need to do is download the official app and create an account. Next, print out the Lumber Heritage Region GeoTour passport or visit one of our participating partners. Each Geocache has a code word you’ll need to write down to claim your coin at the end.

 

Claim Your Coin

Participants in the Lumber Heritage Region GeoTour can earn a FREE limited-edition trackable Geocoin by being one of the first 300 people to visit at least 20 of the 23 cache locations. At each stop, be sure to record the correct code word found on both the cache lid and the logbook cover, as these will be required for verification. For stops #08 and #23, use the online checker provided on the cache page to confirm your answers. Once you’ve completed the requirements, coins can be picked up on a first-come, first-served basis at the Warren County CVB office (stop #03), and will not be mailed. Visit them Monday-Friday 9a.m-4:30p.m at 22045 US-6, Warren, PA 16365
