Orienteering at Oleta River

Orienteering is the sport of navigation with map and compass. It’s easy to learn, but always challenging. The object is to run, walk, or mountain bike to a series of points shown on the map, choosing routes–both on and off trail–that will help you find all the points and get back to the finish in the shortest amount of time. Orienteering is often called the “thinking sport” because it involves map reading and decision-making in addition to a great workout.If you love maps, exploring, and the great outdoors, try orienteering. You’ll be hooked for life!
