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.
