A vehicle entrance fee of $3 (County resident) and $5 (non-County resident) is charged on weekends and holidays to the nature preserve from March 1 through October 31. The park is free from November 1 until March 1.

The clues:

Get a trail map from the main gate/booth or the nature center. Find the Four Seasons trail and park near it. This trail is completely paved and handicap accessable with many benches and a few picnic tables along the way. Box placement is not handicap accessable. (Also, if interested, take the clues for the McDowell Nature Preserve Series. Two of the boxes are along the same way).

Take the Four Seasons trail and at the Y, go right. Continue until you reach the Intersection of the Pine Hollow trail. Just past this marker is a shelter. The shelter has a plaque in it that states it is a 1992 service project shelter. Just past this shelter you will see a wooden retaining wall. On the side where the retaining wall is, between the wall and the shelter is a triple trunked fallen tree. The box lies near the root end where the trunk seperates from one to three. Good luck!
