This is one in a series of letterboxes in the Rockwood Conservation Area placed by bb & mee and Ili & Lil.

During the winter, when the park is closed, you’ll have to park along the road across from the park entrance. Then walk in and there is no entrance fee. In-season, you can enter the park for a fee of about $5.50 per adult. Note: in the winter snow, many landmarks may be altered/covered/less prominent.
The boxes are on the trail on the opposite side of the river from the beach (marked as a red dashed line on this map: http://www.grandriver.ca/Parks/maps/Rockwoodsite.pdf).
Park by the snack bar and walk down the hill toward the beach. Turn right and then left onto the road; walk past the small dam to the end of the paved road.
The Happy Rabbit is the second box on this trail: see the Rockwood Hiker (http://letterboxing.org/BoxView.php?boxnum=16445&boxname=Rockwood_Hiker) to get to the first box. Then get the third box, the Rockwood Forest (http://letterboxing.org/BoxView.php?boxnum=16446&boxname=Rockwood_Forest).
The Happy Rabbit is hiding about 4/5 of the way along the trail, closer to the mill end. But the directions assume you’re coming from the SW side of the park. When you’re a goodly way into the walk, start looking for a path on the left side that goes back and down, like a hairpin turn (illustrated on the map). Then just a few steps later there is a path off to the right (not illustrated on the map). Keep going straight: the path goes down a hill, then evens out. Just where it evens out, look to your left for a large fallen tree. The Rabbit is hiding in the trunk of that tree.
You’ve gone too far if: the path goes left, then right, then down again under a canopy of cedars.
