Self-Guided Activities
Geocaching
The hunt is on during this high-tech "treasure" hunting game, where park visitors come equipped with GPS devices in search of hidden geocaches! The geocaches located in Beech Bluff County Park are hidden containers that have been approved by park staff and placed on park property for your exploration and enjoyment.
Geocaches can be of varied sizes and hidden in a range of easy-to-difficult places. Use a GPS device or download a geocaching app to your smartphone to help find these hidden containers and then record your findings on the paper log provided in the geocache or log within your mobile app. Some geocaches have little items, such as toys and stickers, that you can collect and replenish as you play, so the activity can be a real "treasure hunt."
