GO and Be Active! - Swim LbNA #69984 (ARCHIVED)

This letterbox is part of the GO and Be Active! program in York County, PA. It will be available from June 1, 2016 – August 14, 2016. Further details about the program may be found at www.goyork.org.

The GO and Be Active! program requires you to search for up to 30 “activities” – wooden posts with engraved plates on them, instead of a traditional letterbox and stamp. Please carefully rub the impression (with a colored pencil or crayon) from the engraved plate onto your GO and Be Active! rubbing sheet, available at any York County Library.

This letterbox is located at Codorus State Park and should be accessed from the LaHo Trailhead parking lot off Blooming Grove Road. GO York! level of difficulty = Hard.
