This letterbox is located in Bowman Lake State Park. Take route 220 West from the town of Oxford about 6 miles and follow the signs for Bowman Lake State Park. This park offers fishing, swimming, camping and hiking. It is in a very remote area.

We would classify this letterbox as "easy" and suitable for all ages and abilities. It is a short hike into the woods (1/2 mile or so?).

Warning: Could be extra challenging during rainy periods & spring runoff.

* Start between the 2 campsites on the sharp curve closest to the beach
where the kids slide & swing
& crawl & sing.

* Enter yellow swatch trail on the left.

* Follow the yellow swatch trail,
crossing the water without getting wet.

* Turn to 3 o'clock.

* Walk along where the crayfish live.
Don't fall in and don't get bit.

* On the left of your path you will hopefully see,
2 big trees with a rock pointing nicely.

* Stop and look up for the "O"
That cannot stop the water flow.

* Go stand above this H2O
Then go to the source of the flow.

* Look across & you will see
A big old rock on top of a "V".

* This rock is guarded by the trees you see
Make sure you cross carefully.

* Beneath this rock is your prize.
Stamp our book & write your goodbyes.

* Close me up tight
For the night
& hide me away
In the same place to stay.
