Difficulty: Kid friendly

Taskinas Creek flows through York River State Park off of Interstate
64 in between Richmond and Williamsburg, Virginia. From Interstate 64,
take the Croaker exit #231B. Go north on State Route 605 for one mile.
Take State Route 606 for 1.5. miles to the park entrance. Pay the
nominal park fee and proceed to the Visitor's Center where you'll find
a trail map. Take the scenic Taskinas Creek Trail, a counter-clockwise
loop of about 1.6 miles. After you pass four scenic overlooks, you'll
cross a long bridge spanning a marshy area. At the second bench from
this bridge, take a seat and catch your breath from the little hill
you just ascended. From the west end of this bench, at a bearing of
290 take about 13 - 15 steps to a medium size, double-trunk tree
surrounded by low brush. Under leaves and sticks, you'll find the
Taskinas Creek Letterbox.
