This letterbox - or observation point, as we call them - is part of the 2012 GO and Search the Galaxy! program, and is available from June 1, 2012 - August 19, 2012. Information about the program may be found at www.goyork.org. To participate in the full program, please pick up your free Star Guide (program guide) from any York County Library.

This letterbox is located in Gifford Pinchot State Park and may be accessed from the Conewago Day Use Area. It is 0.40 miles in distance and is rated "easy" by GO York standards.

 Start at the parking area near the nature center in the Conewago Day Use area.
 Walk to the side of the building where there are a few picnic tables in the stones.
 Turn around and look behind you – you should see a small bridge.
 Walk over the bridge toward the lake and turn left on the paved path to follow Lakeside Trail
 Follow the trail, always keeping the lake to your right, reading the interpretive signs as you move along.
 Stop and read the turtle sign – you are almost there!
 Walk out toward the lake from the turtle sign, and search to the right of the bench where the observation point awaits you near a tree of many trunks!
