| | Park is worthwhile; lakes are such peaceful places, why not visit Woodward Pond. Hampton Inn Bowie is a brilliant place to get some rest, and whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Anacostia River. At Allen Pond through the summertime months highs are in the 80's, and through the night it cools down to the 60's.

Burba Lake
 | 1 PHOTO ...Meade army post is a beautiful nature preserve with picnic facilities for large and small groups. A well-maintained path runs around the entire lake where you can normally find soldiers, retirees and their families out for a stroll or a leisurely run. We can all thank the tightening of security due to terrorism for making the lake's having less access. You must have proper ID (Government/Military issued ID) to enter the post, unless it is pre-arranged such as for family reunions and such. The Ft. Meade MWR people take good care of the lake and it's surroundings and nature teems. You will normally find ducks and geese swimming in the lake, some have made it their home. Migratory birds also have put this lake on their itinerary! There is fishing in the lake and also a healthy turtle population. Beavers also have taken up residence in one area and by some of the ''missing'' trees you can tell that they have been there. There is also a resident blue heron that can often be found on the shore of the lake or amongst the greenery on the little island in the middle. All in all, tho... |
