Geocaching Nova Scotia Atlantic Canada What Is Geocaching Team Building Events Maritimes Cache Locations GPS Caches Geocache Treasure Hunts Vacation Hiking Trails

What is geocaching? Geocaching team building events, vacations in Nova Scotia; Atlantic Canada and Maritime geocache locations; hiking trails; GPS caches, hunts and treasure hunting activities.

Nova Scotia is the perfect place to test your geocaching skills. There are miles of rugged coastline, hiking trails, sandy beaches, quaint fishing villages, picturesque historic towns, significant geographic landmarks and an entire population of friendly people to assist you along the way. One can only imagine the possibilities!

Geocaching is one of the most popular (and fastest growing) recreational activities in North America; and Stonehame Lodge and Chalets hopes to take geocaching in Nova Scotia to a whole new level.

Geocaching combines hiking or walking, treasure-hunting and the use of a GPS (Global Positioning System) device. The idea is to find a treasure or cache placed in a specific location using only GPS co-ordinates. Cache locations are shared by hundreds of groups and individuals via the internet around the world.

What’s unique about geocaching is that anyone can participate, providing he/she owns or has access to a GPS device. It’s an exciting family, group or corporate activity. It’s fun, educational and communicative and promotes a happy, healthy lifestyle; and perhaps best of all, it’s a great way to find, explore and identify hidden treasures in Nova Scotia.

Each GPS unit is attractive, easy to read, durable and accurate. Each training session usually takes about 15-20 minutes (even for first-time users).

Stonehame Lodge and Chalets also offers a series of geocaching packages combining an accommodation discount with a custom geocaching event or an informal tour of known caches in the region. These new offerings at Stonehame are designed to increase awareness of geocaching in Nova Scotia and are expected to be popular additions to our geocaching program.

Exceptional Trails

Because many geocaching events in Atlantic Canada involve hiking or biking it is important to have good trail facilities. Stonehame has miles of seasoned hiking and biking trails on Fitzpatrick Mountain. These wilderness trails that gently twist and turn along the mountainside are among the ‘Top 10’ mountain biking trails in Nova Scotia! Download Trail Map (PDF Format).
