5/9/05 - Box is still there and in good condition. It had been moved around (some notes mentioned that it was found on the bridge) but is now in the right spot. I have changed the clues slightly to reflect some changes in the area.

Round Trip: 1 mile (If you want a longer hike, continue on the Split Rock Loop Trail after you find the box. The Spur trail is .5 and the loop trail is 5 miles.)

Difficulty: Easy to Moderate. If its winter, be careful going down any steps as they will probably be icy. Hiking poles are extremely helpful during winter months.

Time: 1 hour unless you do the loop trail.
Dog friendly: yes
Child friendly: yes, but keep a close eye on them around the water.

Before heading farther north, stop in at the Superior Hiking Trail Association Office for maps of the trail. Be sure to say hello to Gail and Paula who work in the office! (Make sure you know their office hours, as they are shorter in the winter!)

This letterbox is on the Superior Hiking Trail about halfway between Gooseberry Falls State Park and Split Rock Lighthouse State Park.

Park at the Wayside that is by the Split Rock River. Use the Spur Trail to get to the Superior Hiking Trail. You will come to a three-way intersection. One way is the right way, which will bring you to the bottom of a waterfall. On the other side of the bridge near the waterfall, there is a trail register. Sign in, if you so desire. Near the the trail register, there is a trail to the left. You will get a wonderful view of the waterfall from at the end of this side trail. Stand with your back to waterfall next to the bench. Within 10 or 11 steps (off the trail) from the bench at an angle, you will find this box under a fallen tree hidden by bark.


Happy hunting and good luck!
