This is the first in a series of 12 that we will be placing in State Land and Park areas throughout the Summer :) Some will be easy to locate, and others may prove challenging........ We would LOVE to have your feedback on these!! Please make sure to bring your own ink pad.

Head out of Canton on Park Street past St.Lawrence University. Just outside town, this becomes RT 27. Take a right at the red caution light (4 Corners). This is the Pike road. Follow this road until you come upon the “Little River Nature & Recreational area of St.Lawrence University”. This will be on your left side, marked on a brown trail sign. You can park on the Right side of the road. Be careful crossing as this is on quite a curve in the road!

Follow the trail into the woods past the registration box. DON’T FORGET TO SIGN IN !!There is a red trail marker just a few minutes in on the left. Continue to follow the trail. Next to the wooden steps on the path there is a yellow marker on the right. Continue on to the red marker on your right just past a swampy area. You will come to a side path on the right that is between a red marker on the right and a yellow marker on the left. Take this path. Just inside this trail is a large pine with an orange mark next to a large downed tree.

This path continues along the creek bed (which is pretty swampy and muddy), and then along the river bed. You’ll soon reach a shelter area with the burn pit, where the path will split into several directions. Take the path to the left that leads you past the shelter itself. Follow this path until it merges with a larger path at a “triangle”. Continue to follow the path to the right along the river. This path will lead you very close to the river, and then back into the woods.

After a few minutes, the trail curves sharply to the left. Locate a group of four large trees and one small stump (A short distance up the path on the right). Find the largest tree and stand below the lowest limb looking up the path. Move your gaze to 10 o’clock. Locate the hollow stump with a small downed tree across it, about 50 feet from the left of the path. Where the trunk and the hollow tree meet is the box, hidden under the bark.
