This lake is so wonderful. There is a good hiking trail close to Bishopville Pond called the Burnt Pine Trail, and you can spend the day on the beach at Clifton Beach.
Don't stop me now, cause I'm havin' a great time here at Bishopville Pond. A wonderful lake like Jones Pond in the neighborhood of Bishopville Pond is a glorious site to stop by; close by you come across the Maiden Fair Trail which is a good hiking trail. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Quantico Creek, and do stop by Presidential Lake, it's a delightful lake. Very great water scenery is available at Bunting Branch Dam in close proximity to Bishopville Pond.

Pohick Creek
15 miles away
...wn from the sub division noted in AWA write-up. The whole run from Hooves to bridge at Route 1 took me 2 hours of paddling straight, no playing. 40 mins of that was in the dark or near dark. Nice and worth while run if you have the time. 3 mandatory portages in first 2 miles from Hooves to valley area behind Rolling Road subdivision due to down trees. If you're short on time, just put on by the walk way down to the creek from that neighborhood (can't remember the street) off Rolling road. That's where the fun rock garden area is. Easy section and really fun creek type section where all the gradient drop off is. Great area to practice beginner creek style running. Next run will be South run of the Pohick when it comes back up. I looked at it yesterday too and thought it was runable but higher than 220 would be better, I'm guessing 250 -275 cfs. I pretty sure Pohick will not be runable today. The great thing about the run is there are huge sections were you never know you're in a urban/suburban surroundings. Take out on right side of bridge at route 1. If you get the chance do it. Da...
