The Stonycreek

Combine the physical exercise of hiking, the mental exercise of a scavenger hunt and the technical challenge of using a GPS unit and you have geocaching. This is a great way to experience The Stonycreek Corridor and there already are several caches here. To learn more about caches that already exist, check below. If you are a geocacher and would like to add your cache to the list, send an e-mail to information@thestonycreek.com and provide the name, a short description and the appropriate URL.

Specific information and coordinates for these sites can be found at the Geocaching.com links listed below. You must register with the website (it’s free) to obtain location information. The caches are rated based on the “Terrain” you must navigate and the relative “Difficulty” involved in finding the actual hiding place. The containers typically vary in size from 35 mm film canisters to ammunition canisters.

	Benson Borough is the location for this “cache and dash,” a basic cache that will introduce you to this Stonycreek River town and – if you are unfamiliar with it – with geocaching. The difficulty of this cache is rated 1 star out of 5, and the terrain is rated 1½ stars. (The more stars in the rating, the more challenging the cache.) For more information.
	Canoe d’ Que II is a fully aquatic cache, meaning you need a boat to find it; and a multi-cache, meaning you have to visit more than one location to obtain the necessary clues.
