Recreation >> Geocaching
The primary mission of the Duke Forest is to serve as an outdoor laboratory for education and research. While public recreation is permitted, these activities must not conflict with teaching or research projects, or with the natural or historical values of the Forest.
Due to concerns including: protection of research and natural areas; preservation of cultural and archaeological sites; maintenance of trails and the creation of unauthorized trails; safety of visitors and liability; and, the overall adherence to Forest use guidelines, placing and/or searching for geocaches, terracaches, letterboxes, or any other form is strictly prohibited in all divisions of the Duke Forest.
Any caches found will be considered abandoned property and will be removed.
Questions regarding removed caches should be directed to the Office of the Duke Forest, dukeforest@duke.edu.
