NOTE#
As of 6/11/16
All trail signs are down as it looks like they are adding more trails and signs, so this means that it will be next to impossible to find any boxes using these clues.
All boxes are active except #4 as this one has gone missing, it will be replaced in time.
Also will try and find a map and post as to give some direction through the park.
Approx 1.5 mile hike round trip.
Trails are under construction and are wet and rough in areas but travelable with a moderate terrain. Bring your own ink, brown, black, and green are best, as always please be discreet, reseal and re-hide well.
Here’s your starting location:
Oakwood Lake Township Park

Box 1
Your adventure begins on B, Follow B until it meets C. Make sure you have bug spray Mosquitoes have been seen and felt here, continue on C through this winding trail until reaching a spot where water flows through a tube. Turn about face spy the multi-trunk tree with moss on its exposed roots. Behind the tree just to the left is where you’ll find the first friend or ?
Box 2
Continuing down the trail to its end, this is A, take it north until it meets D. As you enter D, check out the Deer Scrape on the right, following the winding trail be careful as you pass a large Pine on your right with its exposed roots crossing the trail. Soon you will take a sharp 90 degree to the west, Locate the largest tree in the woods on the left, follow the deer path to the tree. Here you will find your second friend.
Box 3
Continuing on the D until it meets A again. Go north, until you come to Rossman Lake.
Follow E, notice on your left is Rossman Lake. Following until you reach the lakes edge and take a view. Look! Did you see that Beaver he must be visiting this side of the lake today. After enjoying your view of Rossman Lake head back to the top of the trail. Now make your way to the 1920's log cabin, Go to the NW corner of the cabin, Take 22 steps inline with the cabin's NW and W corners, Notice a natural bench on the right, Look! was that the Beaver just to your left at the base of that cedar tree. Here is where you’ll find your third friend.
Box 4
Return to where A, B, and E meets, travel B. Notice the “Keep Out” Signs on the right, please respect the owner’s wishes and stay on the trail. There are a few water pockets in this area see the Turtle sunning over there. Continue on the trail, crossing over something green, then a black one. Please continue to respect the owner’s wishes and “Keep Out” as you continue walking up the hill, upon reaching the top notice what appears to be a 4 Trunked Maple Tree just ahead on the left, continue to tree. Align yourself with the Keep Out sign and the multi trunked maple tree take a reading of 135 degrees you will spy a fallen tree between a still standing tree and a tall stump. This holds your final Oakwood Friend.
Continue on the trail to return to the parking lot.
Hope you enjoyed this hike and finds Happy LBing.
