Geocaching near GCAX1X1
You’re probably looking at the area around Fall Fest and thinking to yourself “Holy Doodle, that’s a lot of caches!!” You’re right. There ARE a lot of caches around the event. More than 1600 within Brant County, and nearly 3600 within 20 miles… and that number is growing on a regular basis. That should be enough to keep anyone busy for a couple of days… and that’s before we have even started placing caches for the actual event!
Whether you’re looking for specific DTs to complete your next fizzy loop, you want to do an entire fizzy loop in a day, you’re interested in challenges, you want easy park and grabs with historical meaning, you’re targeting oldies, you’re looking for rare icons like Virtuals and Earthcaches, or you just want to find some cool caches in the area, Brant County has something to offer you.
The organizing team will create a bookmark list of recommended Caches within 32km (20 miles) of Fall Fest starting in September 2026. We will also have a bookmark list of Caches placed for the event that we will add caches to as they are published.
On this page, we are going to talk specifically about some of the really cool and unique experiences, series and geoarts you can find in Brant County. This information should be used for planning purposes only - there is no way anyone could complete all of these things in one weekend and still have time to participate in the event.
