This letterbox is located in John Prince Park, a beautiful public facility bordering Lake Osborne, in Lake Worth, Florida. The park offers a wide variety of recreational interests, from boating and picnicking, to bike paths, bird-watching, tennis, camping, a heart trail, playgrounds and nature trails that wind through the Florida scrub.
Terrain: Shell rock road/dirt paths.
Access: Free to enter the park.
Time to find this box: 15/20 minutes.
Created by: The 2 Steppers.
Directions:
Take I-95 to the Lantana Road exit, head west to Congress Avenue, turn north onto Congress Ave. (or Take I-95 to the 6th Avenue South exit, head west to Congress Avenue, and turn south onto Congress Avenue).
Enter John Prince Park at the Congress Avenue entrance midway between 6th Avenue South & Lantana Road. Turn right at the 4-way stop and then left at the Field Office.
Follow the road and bear right just before the blue campground welcome sign and park at the visitor parking on the right, by the shell rock road where the Custard Apple Trail begins. On your left you will see the campground check-in building and restrooms.
Start walking down the shell rock road, and turn onto the Cypress Trail. At the fork, bear left, continuing on the Cypress Trail (don’t take the Dahoon Trail which goes straight ahead).
Go past the Coot Trail and you will come to an intersection of the Cypress & Egret Trails. There you will see a palmetto palm at the corner of the intersection by the trail marker, and this is where you will find the letterbox, at the base of the palm. For easier access to the palm, approach it from the Cypress Trail side and go in through the bushes on that side.
