City Lake Park #1 LbNA #36144

From Albemarle take Highway 73 West heading to Mt Pleasant. Go to City Lake Park which is directly across from Blake Rd. Turn into park and follow the asphalt drive and park at the picnic/restroom shelter parking lot. Take a stroll on the path that circles the playground and picnic structure and that borders the lake. Go out on the small boat dock and enjoy the photo opportunity. Return to the path at your leisure and this time follow it up and around the backside of the small ampitheater. Behind the ampitheater, just off the path, is 2 trees (or one tree that has sprouted another almost as tall as itself). Head to this tree and stand with your back to its' trunk (facing away from the ampitheater). Look into the trees and slightly to the right for a rotting stump missing its trunk (thanks to termites/weather). You will find what you seek at this trunk. Please hide from view very well when done stamping in. Enjoy!

**If you crave more exercise, you can follow the path back to your car/parking lot and this time head down to the lower parking lot where there are multiple fishing spots and more picnic tables. There is also a small path that runs parallel to the lake to the far left of this parking lot, just off the picnic/fishing path, I believe there is a tiny bridge that starts the path.**
