This popular activity gives you the chance to glean the makings of a s'more while enjoying a geocaching adventure. The cache locations are new for 2026. Three boxes are hidden with each box having a s'mores component ticket for either a graham cracker, a plant-based marshmallow, or a chocolate bar. Find all three, return to the starting spot and collect your s'mores kit. There will be a campfire to roast your well-earned dessert.

The quest route will be half a mile over fairly level ground, so it is a good activity for younger kids because they love looking for stuff. Never geocached before? Park staff will explain how it is done, how our GPS units work, and lend you a unit for the activity. If you have a GPS app on your phone or devise, we'll give you the cache coordinates.

This program can be started anytime between 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. The campfire will burn until 3:30 p.m.
