+ngrrfan Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 What property is protected by Federal regulations and do not permit geocaching? Depends on where you are. Federal prisons and surrounding property don't, for one. In my area, National Parks allow Earthcaches, and some even allow traditional micro caches. Yet one National Forest out here doesn't allow caches at all, while other NFSs do. So it is hard to give a definitive answer to your question. Quote Link to comment
+msrubble Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 What property is protected by Federal regulations and do not permit geocaching? National Wildlife Refuges, or any other property managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Military bases are also out. Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) Outside of Federal Prisons and a few other secure installations... the only way to guarantee that any particular piece of property will/will not allow geocaches is to contact the (local) administrator of that particular property or reserve. Many (U.S.) federal properties have blanket, yet flexible, regulations. But the final say-so comes from that administrator. You can find some with no restrictions, some with harsh restrictions and some that refuse placements of any kind. Mileage varies greatly.

+K13 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 When you ask for permission of the land owner or land manager, you will determine if they allow geocaches. Everyone has to get permission to place a cache, as evidenced by the check box in the cache submission form. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 There's a National Wildlife Refuge near here that allows EarthCaches, and where the rangers have created a multi-cache with virtual (Question to Answer) waypoints in the refuge itself. Quote Link to comment

+stijnhommes Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I seem to remember that caches close to railroads are not allowed either. Quote Link to comment
+39chevy Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Railroads are not federal property. Quote Link to comment
