Geocaching & Orienteering in Kentucky
Modern aged treasure hunting is perhaps the best way to describe a geocaching adventure. With caches all over the state, and world for that matter, any one can participate in geocaching. All you need is a GPS unit and a desire for exploration. To find caches located throughout Kentucky, visit www.geocaching.com.
Looking for something a little off the beaten path? Then orienteering is for you. Orienteering is a sport in wilderness navigation where a person uses a map and compass to complete a course. It uses many of the same skills found in geocaching and adventure racing.
Kentucky is leading the nation in the development of new orienteering activities and trails throughout the Commonwealth. In a first of its kind program and in cooperation with Orienteering USA, Orienteering Louisville and Orienteering Cincinnati, Kentucky has installed orienteering course at: Barren River Lake State Resort Park, Big Bone Lick State Historic Site, E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park, Rough River Dam State Resort Park and Taylorsville Lake State Park.
