This letterbox is located in Sunset Bay Park in the Town of Scriba. It is located along the southern shore of Lake Ontario. If you are going to "Mapquest" this, use "County Route 29 and (East)Lake Road" as your END POINT.


Using Interstate 81- Get off at the Mexico NY (Route 104) exit, and head WEST. 7.2 miles west of Mexico NY, is County Route 29 North. Take a Right onto CR 29.....


Using State Route 104 from Oswego area & west (Including Interstate 481)- Travel EAST on SR 104 4.4 miles from the City of Oswego line (4.3 from the blinking light) to County Route 29 North. Take a Left onto CR 29......


....once on CR 29, travel 3.1 miles to the very end. It will come to a "T" with Lake Road. You MUST turn RIGHT (If you go left, you will be stopped at the entrance to the NUKE plants). Travel one tenth of a mile on Lake Road, and turn left into Sunset Bay Park. PARK CLOSES AT 8 PM.

Travel 3 tenths of a mile into the park to a gravel parking area. You will pass a children's play area, lined-up orderly trees, and a fitness center, all on your left, along the way to the lot. Park in the gravel parking area. Continue walking on the road towards the lake. You'll pass the shed with a pavillion behind it on your left. About a tenth of a mile up this road, the bay/boat-launch will be on your right, and a small picnic grove, with grills, will be on your left. In front of you will be a black and white sign proclaiming- This property patrolled by Oswego County Sheriff, NYS Police, Scriba Town Constable.


Enter the small picnic area heading back towards the last grill and into the woods. There is a small trail heading into the woods. Follow this, passing by any options, until you reach a very large, old, knotty tree (this is straight in from the launch area). To the left of this tree is a "railed" trail going further into the woods and to the right is a path leading to the lake. Go right at this tree, and head towards the lake. Soon you will cross over a wooden bridge/walkway to the lake. Take a right when you reach the rocks, just over the bridge. Follow along this edge past the ivy covered trees to the path that goes from rocks to grass. As soon as you reach the grass, STOP. Turn around and take 8 steps back onto the stone. The lake will be on your right, the woods to your left, and a 3 tree cluster in front of you. Directly to your right are the remains of old stumps on the edge of an "oasis" (between the path and the lake). In between these stumps (facing the lake), under some rocks, is what you seek. The trail of rock to grass will bring you back :)
