WC GeoTrail - Caryville Traditional Cache

The Washington County Heritage GeoTrail is a game created by the Washington County TDC. Players must find 15 caches in four quadrants.

The town was named Caryville for R.M. Cary, Pensacola & Atlantic (now CSX) company secretary. Caryville is best known as a "sawmill" town. The community boomed quickly as a construction camp for the railroad. In 1903, Caryville boasted "one of the most gigantic and best equipped sawmills plants in the South". Check out the railroad tracks just down the road that cross over the Choctawhatchee River. There is a dirt road leading to the tracks and an opening for great photo opportunities.
