The TRWD Trinity Trails Geocaching Adventure takes you on a journey throughout the entire trail system to discover hidden gems, historically significant locations and some of the most popular spots along the trails of the Trinity River in Fort Worth, TX. It's perfect for families, geocaching newbies and seasoned "cachers" alike.
The TRWD Trinity Trails Geocaching Adventure consists of 30 geocaches hidden along the Trinity River! An award awaits those clever enough to earn 20 points by answering the question located inside each cache and participating in approved river activities. Details on how to get this award are in the "Take the Challenge" section.
While on your Trinity Trails adventure, you'll marvel at the 100+ miles of scenic beauty that the Trinity River in Fort Worth has to offer. On any given geocache quest, you are likely to see runners, walkers, cyclists, families or even an occasional horse sharing the trail with you (it is Fort Worth, after all).
Geocaching is a real-world, outdoor treasure hunting game. Using a GPS-enabled device (you can even use your smartphone), navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates and then attempt to find the container hidden at that location, known as a "geocache". We're warning you, once you experience the thrill of the treasure hunt, you'll be hooked.

Visit the TRWD Trinity Trails Geocaching Adventure page to explore our list of geocaches and their coordinates.
Use the coordinates to locate the geocache using your GPS device.
Once you find the cache, sign the logbook inside.
If you've decided to participate in the challenge, there is a question inside each cache you must answer and log on your Challenge Passport.
Some caches have trinkets inside. Feel free to swap one with another you've brought of equal or greater value. It's tradition after all.
When you're done, return the geocache to its original location and continue on your adventure.
To participate in our challenge, you will need to download and print the Challenge Passport. Bring it along to log the answers to the question we have included in each cache. Don’t have your passport with you? No problem, just remember the answers and log them on your passport later.
In order to complete your Challenge Passport, you must earn up to 20 points by logging the cache and answering the question inside the container. Points can also be earned if you show proof of participation in approved river activities. Approved river activities can be found on the Challenge Passport.
If you’re adventurous enough to complete the passport, please send your passport to 301 Arthur Street, Fort Worth, TX 76107 or email us. Geocachers who submit their passport will receive a TRACKABLE TRWD Trinity Trails Adventure Geocoin.
