This is an older letterbox that we thought was missing. Heck we checked on it ourselves. But it was rediscovered in its place by Butterfly and donutz716 in October 2009. Thank you both very much!
A single letterbox overlooking Gardner Lake in Salem, CT on a very easy 1/2 mile walk. Bring the kids, a fishing pole, and a bathing suit. From the intersection of CT Rte. 354 and 82, head east on 82 for 0.5 miles and turnleft onto Doyle Rd. Turn left again after 0.6 miles onto Cottage Ln and find the Hopemead State Park entrance on your left in 0.7 miles.
Follow the wide trail west through intricate old stonewall-lined paddocks. Just as the trail bends right and downhill towards the lake, turn left (south) into an overgrown walled-in field. Bushwhack to the large wall and pass through the wide opening. Turning right, west, walk down to the southwest corner and find the Lake Shore Letterbox down in the base of the wall. It is very well hidden down there, we missed it ourselves! Be sure to explore the point overlooking the lake after stamping in.
