Centennial GeoTour (Geocaching)

Geocaching

  • We have partnered with Michigan Geocaching Organization (MiGO) to create two geocache experiences.

    Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices. Participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the geocache (container) hidden at that location. It's a fun way to explore Michigan's great outdoors, while joining 3 million other geocachers looking for millions of caches all over the world.

    "Trust the Tradition" geocache trail with Jay's Sporting Goods

    We partnered with MiGO and Jay's Sporting Goods to bring you a new set of exciting geocaches. You can now hunt for new "Trust the Tradition" geocaches in honor of the DNR's centennial and Jay's Sporting Goods' 50th anniversary. New caches will be released each month through September for a total of 50 new finds. Visit Geocaching.com/Plan/Lists/BM9t1fj to view the already-released caches. You can also search for "TrustTheTradition" on Geocaching.com.

    Michigan State Parks Centennial GeoTour

    We also partnered with MiGO to develop the Michigan State Parks Centennial GeoTour. As part of the 100-year anniversary of Michigan state parks in 2019, 100 new caches were placed throughout the state. Search for the Michigan State Parks Centennial GeoTour (GT93), pick up (or download) your GeoTour ticket and you're ready to begin! Once you find a certain number of caches, you can earn rewards. Search for Michigan State Parks Centennial GeoTour (GT93) on the Geoacaching.com app or website.

    For an even more exciting adventure, download the GeoTour ticket (fillable PDF). As you find caches, record the code word on your ticket and then log your find on Geocaching.com.
