The coordinates are set and scenery is stunning. Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of the beautiful landscape around Parry Sound by going on a geocaching adventure, an outdoor treasure hunting game using GPS-enabled devices that is ever-gaining in popularity, with hundreds locations currently marked.
This fun sport involves participants using their electronic devices and travelling to specifically-set GPS coordinates in an attempt to find the geocache (container) at the desired location. There are some ground rules:
1. Sign the log book.
2. If you take something from the geocache container, you must leave behind something of equal or greater value.
3. Log your find online.
Geocaching is a fantastic way to discover the quintessential wilderness that exists in the Parry Sound area. According to Geocaching.com, near the docks of Parry Sound there are over 250 geocaches in a 5 mile radius. With a foot of snow on the ground, the best method of travel in the winter to try geocaching would be by snowshoe, with rentals provided by outfitters in the area.
