  • Build your digital collection

  • Perfect for kids and curious beginners

Rock hunting has never been more educational or interactive! Just make sure your phone is charged—you’ll be using it a lot.

Rock-Hunting Tips
  • Contrast is key – odd colors or shapes usually stand out for a reason.

  • Try wetting your finds – colors pop when rocks are damp.

  • Avoid over-collecting – take a few favorites, leave the rest for others.

  • Use Rock Identifier – it’s like having a geologist in your pocket!

The River Rock Hunt is about more than collecting stones—it’s about curiosity, connection, and slowing down to notice the beauty around us. Whether you’re here to learn, collect, or just take a peaceful walk, this event brings a little magic back to everyday nature.

So gather your gear, download the app, and get ready to discover something amazing. The river is waiting—what will you find?
