Geocache Description:


The Washington County GeoTrail

WCG - Genisse Rouge



The Washington County GeoTrail (WCG) launched on Saturday, September 14, 2013. The Trail consists of over thirty-five (35) geocaches placed at points of interest all over the County. Caches will be found in National, State, County and Town parks as well as at museums, wineries, historical sites and places of natural beauty. A trackable geocoin was awarded to the first 500 geocachers who completed the Washington County Geotrail. The original allotment of Coins has been exhausted and new parameters to receive the updated Coin are below.

To be eligible for the coin, GeoCachers may download the Washington County GeoTrail passport online at www.visitHAGERSTOWN.com or pick one up in person at the Visitor Welcome Center at 6 N. Potomac Street. Completed passports may be verified on site at the above address or by mail.

Please note the following Change. Washington County GeoCoins will be available for purchase at the Visitor Welcome Center for GeoCachers who log 20 or more caches on the Washington County GeoTrail. The cost of the GeoCoin will be $10. An additional $3.50 shipping charge will apply for passports redeemed by mail. For more information about geocaching in Washington County and the full complement of local amenities, the above links are your gateway to historically beautiful Washington County!

Participating in the WCG geotrail is fun and we hope that many people join in. However, it is not a requirement for logging your find on this cache once you find the container.


WCG –Genisse Rouge

The Washington County GeoTrail is excited and proud to showcase Washington County’s growing wine culture. This trail features the County’s three vineyards, all set in picturesque rural settings.

The proprietors of all three have graciously consented to make these caches available seven days a week during daylight hours. All are situated near parking, somewhat removed from the cellars and other facilities. The present location features the gentle slopes of South Mountain below Mt. Quirauk where warm days, cool nights and perpetual breezes make ideal conditions for growing grapes.

Genisse Rouge is a contrived name, in no way associated with this establishment or the names of the particular wines crafted therein.

There are two other WCG caches in close proximity to this one – The Constitution Tree (GC4EFW5) at Fort Ritchey and Smithsburg Heritage Walk (GC4EFXM)

There is parking at this site. The cache is available during daylight hours. It is of regular size, secreted within a larger host. Thank You.


The Washington County GeoTrail wishes to Thank the Hagerstown Washington County Convention and Visitors Bureau for their timely and continuing assistance with this Washington County adventure.

The WCG also wishes to thank the following geocachers who spent countless hours in planning and deploying the caches – ALs Guide, Always Lost 00, Kitakima, LPYankeefan, nomaland, Snurt, tazscouter, and tiger77aam.
