Learn to Geocache

at Stockton State Park

6/20/2026 | Stockton State Park | Dadeville, Mo.

Maybe you have heard of geocaching but you don't really know what it is or how to get started. Well, if you enjoy scavenger hunts, walks in the woods, or the excitement of finding something cool, this event is for you.

A geocaching expert will provide an introduction to this activity and will help you locate your first geocache. Then, you will have time to find additional geocaches on your own. You will be traversing natural-surface trails and even going off-trail at times. Sturdy shoes and insect repellent are recommended. You will also need to bring a smartphone or GPS.

This event is free and open to the public, and there is no need to register. Meet at the showerhouse in the East Campground.
