The following letterbox is part of the GO York "Get Outdoors and Be Creative!" program. It will only be available between June 6, 2009 and September 7, 2009. To participate in the program, please pick up your official "Get Outdoors and Be Creative! Sketch Book at any York County library.

In addition, this program uses creativity stations - a wooden marker post with an engraved plate on it - instead of a traditional letterbox. Please make sure to have a crayon with you to carefully rub the picture in your Sketch Book. Further information about the "Get Outdoors and Be Creative!" program may be found at www.goyork.org.

This creativity station is located at Lake Redman, William H. Kain County Park. GO York Kids level of difficulty = 2

1. Leaving the parking lot, walk toward the water and the wooden canopy picnic table.
2. After the canopy picnic table, bear left and follow the trail that travels near the shoreline of the lake.
3. Where the trail and shoreline meet, stop and look across the picture perfect lake. Can you see ducks and geese swimming on the lake? How about an eagle or osprey overhead fishing for their lunch?
4. Stay on the lower trail.
5. After walking a distance, the trail will split. A narrow dirt trail will wind uphill and a wide gravel path proceeds straight. Take either trail as they join each other up ahead.
6. At the “Y” intersection, turn right and follow the trail onto the boardwalk/deck.
7. Stop and read about Puddle Ducks. Now walk back 5 adult paces and look for the creativity station on the boardwalk post.
