Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using a GPS-enabled device.
Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity in which participants use a GPS-enabled device to hide and seek containers called "caches" at specific locations marked by coordinates.

Below is a listing of caches on Lake Metroparks' property:
These caches are not actual containers. Finders must discover information or solve a puzzle for further instructions from the hider.
A multi-stage cache consists of multiple discoveries of one or more intermediate points containing the coordinates for the next stage. The finder must visit multiple locations in order to find the final cache. Listed location is the starting point.
A traditional cache means that a container is at the listed location.
