If you are new to the Nature Park and would like to find these in true letterbox style, you may need a park map (available in the Interpretive Center or at any park entrance). The clues take you along a loop route clockwise. All of the letterboxes are located within one or two steps of the trail. Please remain on the marked trails, because the habitat within the park is sensitive. Remember to replace the letterboxes as you found them with lids tight and all contents within the plastic bag provided. Good luck & happy letterboxing!
Terrain: Paved and mulched trails
Distance: 1.75 miles round trip for Letterboxes 5 through 9
Letterbox #5 – Nurse stumps and logs
The stump here is called a nurse stump. As the wood decays it provides nutrients for the plants growing from it. Start at the Vine Maple Trail boardwalk. Continue approximately 135 steps to the railing. You will be getting closer when you hear running water. Turn on the Creek Trail. Continue to the dead stump just after the intersection. Look for me between a fern and a cedar tree near a log round.
