What is Geocaching?
Geocaching is a real-world treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices such as a smart phone. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. See Geocaching 101 for all the information you need to get started.

The geocaching.com app requires a premium membership to see many of the DPL geocaches. However, this limitation is only in the app—you can still see, find, and log all DPL geocaches using a mobile browser on your phone or using a computer. You may also print the DPL geocache descriptions and use another mapping app.
