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 Forest is the third letterbox in the series. The Rockwood Hiker is the first box (http://letterboxing.org/BoxView.php?boxnum=16445&boxname=Rockwood_Hiker). See http://letterboxing.org/BoxView.php?boxnum=16442&boxname=Happy_Rabbit for Box #2, the Happy Rabbit.
The Forest letterbox is on the next trail…once you finish the trail along the south of the river, you’ll end up at the mill ruins. Follow the road past the mill and turn left onto the trail.
The letterbox is very close to the trailhead. Look at the rocks on the left side of the trail acting as a border. Stand on the last rock on the left and look across the trail, up the hill. Walk 20-23 steps up the hill: you should be in front of a barkless cedar. At the base, to the right, there are caverns in the rock. Snoop in the cavern to find the letterbox; be sure to replace the rocks that hide it.
You’ve gone too far if: you reach the bridge.
