Have a tremendous hiking adventure along the North Valley Trail; a delightful nearby hotel is Residence Inn Potomac Mills Woodbridge. So much enjoyable stuff to do at Occoquan Reservoir, so little time. At Occoquan Reservoir during the summer highs are in the 80's. Through the dark hours of summer temperatures  
   dip down into the 60's. The cold days of the wintertime come with highs in the 40's, and after the sun is down during the wintertime temperatures at Occoquan Reservoir descend into the 20's.
This lake is so wonderful. Do pay a visit to Fort Washington Park if you're here at Occoquan Reservoir, and why not camp at Burke Lake Park since you're here at Occoquan Reservoir. While you're here at Occoquan Reservoir you can take a hike along the Quantico Falls
 
               Trail, and if you've had enough of Occoquan Reservoir, Lake Omiscal is close by. Occoquan Reservoir is a place with many visitors from Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, and there are some wonderful whitewater spots on Pohick Creek.

Going for a hike along the Calvin Branch Mine Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this neighborhood, and whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Accotink Creek.

Pohick Creek
...ves road vice the walk down 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...
