This is My Pennsylvania - Wind Power

Warning:  this park does not currently have park maps so if you feel you might need one, print it out ahead of time.   I called the park and they told me that they will not have park maps available until spring 2019.   Also, if you collect park stamps, the park office has very limited hours but when I called, they told me that the Susquehannock stamp can be obtained at the Samuel S. Lewis park office.  
 The main reason for going to Susquehannock State Park, aside from this letterbox, is for the view of the Susquehanna River from the Overlook Trail.  It is only a short walk so, please, take it and enjoy before looking for the box.
 View of the river looking south.
 View of the river looking north.
 After enjoying the view, make your way back to the parking area near the Long House.
 Walk between the house and the maintenance building.
 You will see a real road once you pass these two buildings.
 When you come to this trail marker, you have a decision to make.
 Here....this makes your decision much easier.
Take about 48 steps and look to your right.  About 28 steps into the woods, you will see the tree below.
 There is a large downed tree laying in front of your tree.
Look at the back side of the tree, about ten feet from the stump end.
