On Route 8 in North Adams, take the turn just before the bridge to enter the park. The park is open 9-5pm Memorial Day to Columbus Day. During closed hours or the closed season you will have to park at the bottom of the road where you first pull in and walk up to the park.
FROM THE TOP OF THE PARK. Head to the left and up a little hill to where there is a garden of stone/cement statues.
FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE PARK. Walk up the park road until you see the quarry on your right. The letter box is near the top of the quarry. To get there, go past the tower of rocks and up the many stairs to the elevated section of the park. Head to the right, along the river and out into the park green. The park field house should be on your left and the garden of stone/cement statues will be up the hill on your right. There is a small owl statue near the entrance to the statue garden.
ONCE IN THE STATUE GARDEN. There are many statues of different shapes and sizes. Find the statue that looks like an octagonal pavilion. While standing at the pavilion, count 7 statues, starting with the bear and proceeding clockwise. You should end at the tall statue with her arms outstretched (statue #7). Go and stand in front of her, with your back to her, facing the bear statue. Reach your arms out imitating this tall statue. Your left hand will be pointing to another statue, go to it and find the three rings (they are embedded in the statue). Behind these three rings will be the sun. Standing at the sun with the statue (sun) to your back you will see a very large pine tree. Behind this pine tree is a bent white birch tree. Go to this white birch tree. 7 adult strides (or 10 kid stride) beyond this white birch tree will be an old log. Under the left side of this log is letter box. Carefully, remove the bark hiding the letter box and try not to damage the fragile log.
Please put the letterbox back under the log so it stays dry and safe covered with bark.
