Geocache WebBannerThere are plenty of places for hide and seek in Queens. Hiding and seeking geocaches, that is! If you are a geocaching enthusiast or a beginner cacher, you can find hidden treasures throughout the Region of Queens, as well as all over the world. People of all ages are becoming avid geocachers, as a great way to spruce up a walk with the kids or add a mini adventure to your trip!

Working together with Hike Nova Scotia, we are pleased to present a new “Hiker Challenge” Badge for the Region of Queens Municipality!

To receive this exclusive badge, you must find 6 of the 10 geocaches hidden in the area, over the course of one year. Each geocache is hidden in and around different facilities, parks, and trails throughout Queens County. The badge is free and is supported by Nova Scotia Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage.
