Legend has it that the pirate Captain Kidd used to rendezvous with locals at a stone in what is now Kingsland Point Park.... (Kingsland Point Park is next to the Philipse Manor train station in Sleepy Hollow. )
Letterbox 1
Start at the chain gate at the end of the parking lot.
Walking on the paved path, bear right and walk towards the river. The
rectangular pavilion will be on your left. When you reach the river,
turn left. The path will go down a set of steps. At the bottom of the
steps is a large multi stemmed shrub on the left. Letterbox 1 is at
the bottom of this, in the underbrush.
Letterbox 2
Continue along the river, towards the lighthouse and Tappan Zee
bridge. You will come to a fenced in boulder, and a sign describing it
as Captain Kidd's rock. Stand with your back to the rock. Ahead of you
will be a very large 2-sisters tree. Letterbox 2 is in the base of
this tree.
Letterbox 3
1. Continue to the playground.
2. Find the big teeth.
3. Stand so that the two big teeth line up in your field of view. Look south.
4. The line along the two big teeth will point you to a pine tree.
5. Walking past the pine tree, look for a tree with many trunks.
6. The letterbox will be within this tree.
P.S. This is a very busy and bare park, so not sure how long these will last -- enjoy while they are there!
