Welcome Geocachers!

The NorWest Ontario Geocachers is an informal group of geocaching enthusiasts from Northwest Ontario. We have members from across the north shore of Lake Superior, westward to the Manitoba border, hiding and seeking geocaches across the region.

In addition to social events and geocaching challenges, we encourage the hiding of quality caches and promote safe, fun and exciting geocaching through all of Northwest Ontario.

This website is our online home, where we like to hang out, plan our next hides, events, outings and challenges. It's also where we keep up-to-date on various topics related to geocaching, like the technology behind the hunt, sharing new outdoor recreation areas we discover and ways to make geocaching more fun for each other in Northwest Ontario. We hope you find us to be a friendly bunch, and make a place for yourself here as well.

Fall Cache Challenge 2010

It's time again for the Fall Cache Challenge! Spend a fun afternoon hiking, biking or blading around and hunting brand new caches with your NWOG friends! October 3rd from 1pm to 6pm and then join us all for dinner afterwards!

Start planning your hides now because the next few weeks ilk fly by! Watch this space for a list of caches as they are submitted. See the forums for full details.

Let the race begin! We have our first group of entries in the 2010-11 NWOG Geocoin/Tag Race making their wait out into the world today! Good luck to everyone who is taking part in the race.

Week 14 Update: Stats are good to go. Mechman has taken the lead again as his elephant has made it all the way to the west coast. ~WM
