PLAY NICE

• Never get caught finding a cache (muggles are watching).
• Open, check-in, and register on geocaching.com
• If you take an item leave an item (keep it family friendly).
• Return the cache to the same place you found it. Please do not move or remove a cache.
• Be respectful of the environment and other park visitors and Leave No Trace!

WHERE ARE CACHES HIDDEN?

Look for Geocaches within 30' of the GPS coordinates. You may have to step off trail a few feet or look under a boardwalk. County Caches are official Geocache lock lids boxes that are registered with Geocaching.com. You may find them hidden in bushes, under leaves, in a tree, beside a path or structure. You will not need to dig or break anything to find. For hints and descriptions look up the official website.

LOOKING TO PLACE A CACHE IN A COUNTY PARK?

All caches on Parks and Recreation Property require an approved permit. For a cache permit, read our Geocaching Placement Permit Policies, complete the fillable application on page 2, and email to wpate@sjcfl.us.
