Find Your Chesapeake Geotour

Small geocaching box on a forest floor surrounded by crunchy brown leaves

The Find Your Chesapeake GeoTour® is the combined effort of the National Park Service, Chesapeake Conservancy, and volunteers with the Maryland Geocaching Society and the Northern Virginia Geocaching Organization. The trail has over 60 cache locations on eight Chesapeake rivers in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia. The “FYC” will be the third such collaboration, building on the success of geotrails along the Star-Spangled Banner and the Captain John Smith Chesapeake national historic trails. A collectible, highly coveted, challenge coin, known as a “geocoin”, will be awarded to the first 350 geocachers to locate at least 20 geocaches, record the secret code in the official passport, and log their finds onwww.geocaching.com. After discovering the 20 required caches, geocachers may have their passports validated via mail at the National Park Service Chesapeake Bay Office, and – for the lucky 350 – a beautiful two-inch metal coin will be returned in the mail. The geocoins are engraved with a trackable number that geocachers use to “follow” the coin or “discover” a coin held by others.
