Spartanburg County Geotrail

LEAF Outdoor Recreation and Upstate South Carolina Geocachers Association (USCGA) have partnered to bring the first geotrail to the Upcountry.  The Heritage Geotrail is a series of geocaches that takes participants on a historical tour of Spartanburg County.  Participants will visit various locations significant to the heritage of the county.  Each registered geocacher that finds 16 of the 20 caches, logs his or her finds at geocaching.com, and submits a fully completed Spartanburg County Heritage Geotrail Worksheet to LEAF Outdoor Recreation will receive a limited edition, trackable geocoin while supplies last.  Claim your geocoin by mailing or hand delivering (Monday - Friday, 8am - 4:30pm) completed worksheet to:
