Geocache Description:

The JaxParks Challenge

Since Geocaching and parks kind of go hand in hand, The City of Jacksonville, The Cache Station and The Friends of JaxParks would like to welcome you to The JaxParks Challenge.

There has been 34 caches hidden just for this purpose. Inside each one is a special code word that you will need to record for verification of visiting the cache.

For all those committed to completing the challenge, there will be a special trackable Geocoin.

Upon completion of the Parks Challenge you will email The JaxParks Rep with the list of code words that you retrieved from the Geocaches.

About the Park

Julington-Durbin Creek Preserve:

The area is located on a peninsula formed at the confluence of Julington and Durbin creeks, and has approximately nine miles of shoreline along the two creeks. The peninsula is a long sandy ridge that grades into floodplain swamp and marsh along the creeks’ shores. Natural communities consist of sandhill along the higher areas near the center of the peninsula and flatwoods at the lower elevations. The preserve contains extensive floodplain wetlands, providing water quality and floodplain protection for both creeks and the St. Johns River. Wildlife viewing: Known wildlife at the preserve include bald eagle, osprey, gopher tortoise, bobcat, turkey, deer and numerous species of wading and songbirds. Manatees seasonally swim in both creeks. Recreational activities: Hiking, picnicking, horseback riding, bicycling and nature study.
