Geocache Sites on State Forests

The Florida Division of Forestry allows geocaching within Florida State Forests, at the discretion of the Center/District Manager.

Once reviewed and if approved, a State Forest Use Permit will be issued. Each State Forest has the authority to approve, decline or place restrictions on caches. Approval or denial of the request may be made by email.
