Are you up for a family adventure combined with treasure hunting? Geocaching is a great way to get outside and enjoy the outdoors, explore historic sites & unique attractions and discover adventure in beautiful Pocahontas County, WV. Geocaching is essentially a scavenger / treasure hunt using a handheld GPS with the goal of finding the geocache, logging it and leaving it for the next person. It's a great opportunity to see interesting places, meet new people, and get some great exercise.
In preparation for the Boy Scouts of America Jamboree coming to West Virginia, scouts who complete the Nature’s Mountain Playground Geocache Challenge will receive a geocache patch. Families and individuals completing the Challenge will receive a custom coin. To commemorate the Civil War and WV Statehood Sesquicentennial Celebration, Pocahontas County will also be partnering with ExploreWV GeoChallenge in a statewide geocache challenge.
The first Friday of each month (May - October) we'll add a mystery prize to the caches and the first one who finds it, keeps it -it could be train tickets, Raven Golf Club tickets, NRAO tickets, entry for Blues, Brews & BBQs, summer lift ticket at Snowshoe and much more.
