Description
Fairfax Cross County Trail (Lawyers Road to Oak Marr RECenter) - Oakton, VA
Date and Time: Sunday, April 22nd from 9 AM – 12 PM (depending on pace & carpooling)
Leader: Bob Lucas
Distance and Difficulty: 7 miles, Moderate/Advanced
Directions: Car Pool meeting point (3200 Jermantown Road Oakton, VA 22124) at Oak Marr RECenter. From beltway, take I-66 west about 4 miles, to the VA 123 exit north (towards Vienna), 1/4 mile and left on Jermantown Rd, ½ mile and right into the rec center. Meet in the parking lot on the left. We will carpool to the starting point from there and hike back to the rec center.
Information: Over the last 15 years the Fairfax Trails and Streams has pieced together a 43 mile trail which runs from Great Falls Park to Occoquan. Existing trails have been improved and connections built to form this trail. We will hike it in 5 sections, on 5 separate Sundays, one per month. Each hike is one way, so we will leave some cars at the end point for the return trip. This is a mostly level trail, winding through forests and communities and usually along streams. It can be muddy, so hiking boots are strongly recommended. All of these hikes will start at 9am and take between 3 and 4 hours. A lunch will be organized after each hike. A map of the trail can be found at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks.
