Penfield Parks #4
Channing H. Philbrick Park
Total estimated time: 15 minutes
Trail difficulty: Moderate
Clue difficulty: Easy
* Box and logbook replaced -- in a different location within the park -- 10/07/07*
This is the fourth in a series of letterboxes placed in parks in the suburban Rochester, NY town of Penfield. The boxes can be hunted in any order, but the clues are designed to lead you along the quickest route from one to the next, so you can easily do all four in one afternoon.
Note: This park was renamed in 2003. Many maps still show it as Linear Park.
Channing Philbrick Park is a pleasant surprise, tucked back off of busy Penfield Rd, along the banks of the rushing Irondequoit Creek. Before you start on your quest, stop by the informational board at the trailhead and find out more about how, in 1800, a man named Daniel Penfield tapped the power of the creek’s waterfalls and founded a milling town.
From Harris Whalen Park, turn west on Rt. 441 (Penfield Rd.). In a little less than 2 miles, right after you pass St. Joseph’s Cemetery, and just as Penfield Rd. becomes a divided highway, look for Linear Park Drive on the left (the street sign actually says “Liner Park Drive”). Follow the drive down to the small parking area.
At the information board, take the trail that follows along the creek. Watch for a bench on your left. Farther up the path you'll come across a Honey Creek Trail on your left. HEad up this trail. Just as it begins to climb a hill, you'll step up one step. A bit farther up the hill you'll come across a set of six more steps. Why don't you pause on step #4; turn around and sit down and rest a bit. See that dead tree on the ground on your right? When you're all rested up, head on over to the other side where, tucked under the near end of the tree, you'll find the box. Please rehide it carefully.
If you continue farther up the hill you'll find a great place to sit and stamp in.
The Ole Mill Stream box is also up this trail. While you're in the neighborhood, check it out!
Bring your own pen and stamp pad.
