A Treasure Hunt in the Mountains
This autumn, explore Lake Toxaway and the surrounding mountains and trails by geocaching! A cross between a scavenger hunt and a treasure hunt, geocaching involves using GPS coordinates, maps, or other clues to find hidden objects. These objects can be anything, from small bottles holding the location tracker to intricate, multi-step puzzles.
On geocaching.com, searchers can find a map to 19,000 geocaches in North Carolina and nearly one million in the United States. A quick glance at the map reveals geocaches in nearly any public place, hidden in the hollow of a tree in the Pisgah National Forest or even by a city crosswalk.
Once you come across a geocache, you can log it into the website or on a physical log included with the object. Just remember to leave the geocache where you found it, so everyone else can enjoy their treasure hunt, too.
Lake Toxaway is home to two geocaches of our very own! One is right by The Greystone, should you like to explore the area and have an outdoor adventure during your stay.
