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 William H. Kain County Park and may be accessed from the Lake Williams Activity Area. It is 0.70 miles in distance and is rated "moderate" by GO York standards.

 Park in the Lake William Activity Area parking lot in the area farthest from the entrance and exit roads
 Look for three limestone boulders near the end of the park road loop. Trail 4 is just beyond.
 Turn right on Trail 4 and pass on the left or right of the White Pine tree in the middle of the trail. Continue up the small rise in the trail.
 At the junction of three trails, go left on Trail 4 and continue between the rows of more White Pines and past a stump from the October 2011 surprise snow storm.
 Down the dip and around the corner, the lake should be on your left. You are almost there.
 Continue down the hill to your destination on the right – the “Spring Red Maple” with seven trunks big and small and whose roots sip from the spring. The observation point is nearby.
