 State and County Parks
New Castle County
There
are 7 State and 98 County Parks in New Castle County, Delaware. This page provides links to help you discover the
caches hidden in these parks.
The
list is an on-going project of Delaware Geocachers. Parks will be added
to the list as cache sites are reported. At this time
all park caches placed up through March 2, 2007 have been entered but
we can still use your help.
If
you know of a cache in a State or County park in New Castle County and
it is not on our list, please e-mail us
and tell us the name of the cache and the name of the park.
In
the list below the cache names are links. Clicking a cache name will
take you to the geocaching.com web site and display the description of
the cache. Use your browser's back button to return to the page.
The
State of Delaware charges an admission fee for State Park use from May
to October. Season passes are available from the state. Hunting is
permitted in State Parks. This listing details the
type of hunting and the parks that participate. Given
the stealthy nature of the sport of Geocaching, Geocachers are warned
to use extreme caution when geocaching in a Park during hunting season.

If
you are interested in placing a cache in one of the State Parks you
will need a permit. The State of Delaware has established guidelines
for those placing and seeking geocaches on State Park Lands.
Note: this site also contains links to the policy statement and the
application form. These are pdf files which will download to your
computer. Links to those two documents are also provided in the Links section of geocachingde.com
Cache
In - Trash Out
Delaware
Geocacher's urges all geocacher to practice the principles of Cache In-
Trash Out. For those not familiar with this term it basically means
that participating in geocaching activities should result in improving
the environment. While it is expected that Geocachers will not leave
trash in a geocache area, it goes beyond that. Geocachers strive to be
good environmental stewards. Take along a plastic bag or two when you
geocache. Collect any trash you might find along the way. Help improve
the area.
This is especially important when geocaching in Delaware's parks. State
and county
governments are struggling with limited budgets. They are a bit leery
of having
large numbers of people poking around in the parks. Since geocaching is
still
a rather new sport, they are not sure what to expect.
Through the practice of Cache In - Trash Out, we can be setting a good
example
while helping those who provide and maintain these beautiful parks.
