Okaloosa County Geocache Trail
Geocaching is a recreational activity that takes place outside, where participants
use a GPS or GPS enabled device to locate containers called “geocaches” or
“caches.”
The caches are at minimum a container and a log book inside the container at
specific GPS coordinates.
The County has been divided into quadrants, each containing 6 (or more)
caches.
Okaloosa County has placed a geocache in several of its public parks. There are
currently 24 + geocaches scattered throughout Okaloosa County. The geocaches
can also be found under the username Okaloosa County BCC on
www.geocaching.com.
Okaloosa Co. Coins are awarded on a 1st come/1st Serve basis, if you log a
minimum of 20 geocaches, with 4 from each quadrant within the County.
