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 $4.00 per adult and $2.00 per child. 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 Rockwood Hiker is the first box on the trail. See http://letterboxing.org/BoxView.php?boxnum=16442&boxname=Happy_Rabbit for Box #2, the Happy Rabbit, and then get the third box, the Rockwood Forest (http://letterboxing.org/BoxView.php?boxnum=16446&boxname=Rockwood_Forest).
The Rockwood Hiker is about 1/5 of the way along the trail, about 2 minutes from the trailhead. When you get to the right spot, you’ll be able to see signs for masonry businesses and a cross-road through the trees. On the left, there will be a small clearing full of cedars with twisted trunks. The biggest one holds the letterbox.
You've gone too far if: you pass a large rock very close to the path on the right side.
