Rated: Very Easy

From Main St, turn onto Lake St. Park at either the Patriots Park parking lot or the Coventry Community Center parking lot. Both entrances are on your right, right after the cemetery with the large Nathan Hale Monument.

Walk down the paved path, pass the playground, pavilion, band shell, to the rest rooms. The paved path ends. Walk 12 paces. On your left is an entrance to a wooded path. Follow the path to the top. At the top of the point, on the cement slab, this is a beautiful place to watch the sink into the lake. (You may see the paper evidence of the fire works that are launched from this spot around July 4th at the annual Coventry Fest). Take a reading of 90* and take 9 paces in that direction. You will see a path to your left. Take it. Walk through the Mt Laurel. On your left is a big tree with two small trees growing very close to it. Behind it is the treasure.

Please rehide well. The other box hidden in this area was destroyed by vandals.

Before you set out, please read the waiver of responsibility and disclaimer.
