The Tye Preston Memorial Library serves the Canyon Lake Community and also offers many programs to enjoy. One of these is Astronomy Night, held once a month and supported by the New Braunfels Astronomy Club, where participants can view the heavens through telescopes at a small observatory behind the library. Behind the observatory is a Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority Trail that follows the natural topography of the GBRA property situated just next door to the library, where you can enjoy a nice hike while finding this box.

Directions:
From Hwy 306 go southwest on FM 2673 for 1.5 mile, right on South Access Rd for 1.4 mile then left into Tye Preston Memorial Library. Park on far left side away from library near trail.
