Duncan Memorial Park, known locally as Duncan Woods, is a quiet little preserve area located near downtown Grand Haven. There is a small network of trails and a picnic area.

The park is open year-around and closes at dusk. There is no entry fee to the park. Dogs are allowed on leash.

These six unrelated letterboxes are all fairly quick and easy finds — perfect for travelers just passing through the area, or a fun family activity on a weekend afternoon! These trails are heavily used by dog-walkers and there is at least one geocache in this park, so please be discreet, carry the box away from the hiding spot to stamp in and replace the box as found, being sure to conceal it carefully.

Getting There…

From U.S. 31 in Grand Haven, take Taylor west to Sheldon. Turn right (north) onto Sheldon and the park will be on your left.

Clues…

From the west end of the parking lot, follow the cement path which quickly turns to a no-longer used paved road. 30 past 20 (or 8 before 5 if you look at it from the other way), take a left and follow the stones, keeping your eyes open for Tyler. 125 degrees from the place he stands, find the root end of a fallen pine lying along the path. The tip of this fallen tree points you toward the largest, “gorgeous” beech tree. 215 degrees and 22 paces from the beech tree stands a dead trunk riddled with holes. Proceeding in the same directional line, find the box in a canoe hollow tree.
