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…

Along the north edge of the parking lot, locate the trail leading to the wooden stairs (which are really erosion braces). At the top of the hill, take the trail where feathery pines stand at 10 degrees. Just before the path begins a slight decline, you will pass the “love tree” on your left. This tree, filled with lover’s carvings, is called the love tree because it looks like a human heart. As the path starts back uphill, watch for a 3-trunk pine on the left. 12 paces past this tree, shortly before before reaching the summit, a trail heads steeply downhill on your right. At the bottom of the hill, stand next to the tall, straight oak found to the right of the last step. At 70 degrees, see a large hollow stump pointing toward the sky. Find the box nestled under a fallen log on the hillside, due north from here.
