Description
Fairfax Cross County Trail (Wakefield Park to Pohick Road) - Annandale, VA
Date and Time: Sunday, June 17th from 10 AM – 1 PM (depending on pace & carpooling)
Leader: Bob Lucas
Distance and Difficulty: 9 miles, Moderate/Advanced (distance/pacing)
Directions: Car Pool meeting point (near Intersection of Pohick Road and Wadebrook Terrace, then drive to the end of Wadebrook Terrace (about 1/4 mile) and park in cul-de-sac). We will carpool to the starting point (Wakefield Park at 8100 Braddock Road Annandale, VA) from there and hike back to the ending point (Pohick Rd).
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.
