Virginia has many beautiful lakes and Merrimac Lake is one of them. And that's not all you can do here at Merrimac Lake. Going for a hike on the Broad Hollow Trail is always a brilliant adventure, and after a long day outdoors Best Western Culpeper Inn is a fine place to spend a night or two. Since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always pop by close by Mountain Run Lake, and whitewater paddling is wonderful on Robinson River. From a rain point of

Hughes River and Hazel River
 | If you are paddling the hazel this is a heads up when taking out at the low water bridge on monument mills road. The property owners there are real not so friendly. They think they own the river itself. Just a heads up....Some B and B's are near the put-in and take-out for the Hughes. La Bella Terra at 605 and 606 in Madison County is a weekend B and B in season (May-September)and near the take out. It also offers farmhouse dining on Sat. 540 547 2317.... |

Hannah Run Trail
 | 18 miles away As of 2008 I have been the Potomac Appalacian Trail Club overseer for Hannah Run Trail. The trail is about 4 miles in length. You can access from Skyline Drive; but I hike up from the Old Rag Mountain parking lot near Nethers, VA. It is a two mile hike from the parking lot, on Nicholson Hollow trail, before you actually hit Hannah Run trail. I maintain the first two miles of Hannah Run trail from Nicholson Hollow trail. The trail starts off with an easy slope, running parrallel with Hannah Run for about 1.5 miles. The next .5 miles is rather steep, but the trail is sound. My two mile segment of the trail ends with the trail crosses Hannah Run. I have heard that the remaining 2 miles of trail up to Skyline Drive is very steep. There are a number of old chimneys along the trail as you head up the mountain. Thom Savage, Fredericksburg, VA... |
