Welcome to Marion County West Virginia, the middle of everywhere! The 'Gadgets of Marion County' geocaching trail is designed to bring you to the most unique places the county has to offer all while challenging you to complete tasks, solve puzzles, or otherwise engage with unique gadgets. Fifteen special gadget-style geocaches will be placed around the county for you to discover; built and placed with the help of local area cachers Killlerbee and Troopbiz. After completing 14 of the 15 geocaches on the tour and exploring everything Marion County has to offer, stop by our visitor center (GC9CY1G) to claim a FREE custom coin, trackable at geocaching.com! More information including a full list of caches and the playing card is available here: https://marioncvb.com/gadgets

GMC #15: Fishing In The Dark

About This Location. 

Curtisville Lake offers 695 acres of lush scenery around a 30-acre lake with fishing, hiking trails, campsites, and picnicking. Other features include an ADA-accessible pier, playground, and restrooms. The Department of Natural Resources periodically stocks the lake. Activities include non-motorized boating, hiking, biking, fishing, and leisure activities — home of the Annual Family Fishing Day each spring on Good Friday.

About This Cache.

Welcome to Curtisville Lake and Campground, one of the only locations in the county that you can camp. As a result, this park is the perfect place to host a night cache! Grab a flashlight and a friend, and hit the trails on this short nighttime adventure.

You are looking for WHITE fire tacks placed head-high starting at the coordinates above. From here, follow the tacks down the trail until you come across an ORANGE tack. Turn left and make your way up the hill following the WHITE fire tacks. Once you see the smiley, you should know what to do.

Hope you have fun in this nighttime adventure! Please replace as found.
