This box is located in Graham Hills Park in Pleasantville, on Route 117 opposite Pace University. Park your car and go to the end of the lot to the information board. Although the trails are labelled bicycle trails, we saw many hikers and only one biker on our last trip there.
Take the (blue) trail that starts at the right of the board. You will cross over three wooden bridges. Right after the third bridge, follow the trail marked with orange and pink blazes. It will curve to the right and then split; at the fork, go left to stay on the pink trail. The trail markings are faint - the tree at your turn also has a "25" in white on it. After a while, the trail will bend left, and there will be a cyclone fence on your right. You will hear the sounds of the Taconic State Parkway in the distance. Follow the trail to cross a broken stone wall with a fallen tree on it.
Look ahead to the left and you will see another stone wall with a gap - cross through the gap and immediately turn to face the wall. Six steps to your right, there is a thin tree near the wall. The box is in the wall at that spot, hidden by rocks and a branch.
