lake accotink park印象

A stream valley park with a trail that loops around Lake Accotink and includes part of the cross county trail. Has a family area with a beautfully maintained carosal, miniature golf, dock, paddle boat and kayak rental and a snack bar. Once a month during the summer, a band will play in the evening.ČI like this park for the single track mountain biking. Mountain bike trails weave between the railroad and the foot/bike trail (a civil war railroad bed) between the Danbury Forest tot lot and the dam. The trail that loops the lake is wide, suitable for a baby stroller and you will see joggers, walkers and bikers on the trail. You can usually see herons and turtles in the lake and Accotink steam. Fishermen come in April for the stocked trout. Look for marsh marigolds in early spring and bluebells in April near the footbridge over the creek between Danbury Forest and Braddock road.

Hiking trails are great fun, but the rest of the part leaves much to be desired. It always seems to be messy and out of sorts. It is a public park, so I can't expect it to be the Shangri la of parks. I would not dare go into the water, let alone let my dog drink out of it. I continuously see dead fish floating, which scares me. Hoping this year they've clean it up a bit.

Close to town, good walking trains, boat rentals, and free entrance. If you want to take the kids out for a day, it's great. I wouldn't drive for hours to get there as it isn't worth the trip. But for a local park its good for a day's outing.

I lived near this park for about 3 years. It is my place to go running, and the trails allowed me to go several miles and to loop around the park for longer runs. The mixed improved/unimproved trails around the park get quite wet/muddy after the rain but are passable. The marina and play areas are ok, my 4-5 year old enjoyed them. I would say it is a good time, but it is close to Burke lake, which overall has nicer facilities but can be more crowded and which charges a fee on weekends. Check both out if you are in the area.

Nice little park for children of all ages. Pretty lake with boats to rent. Nice play ground and a Merry-go-round.

This is a lovely park for taking long walks and medium long hikes. There are trails/bike paths that are paved or leveled and finished with gravel. There are smaller trails that wind back through the woods. It also is good for biking. The lake is very pretty, and there are nicely developed picnic areas.

Like going for short hikes on the trails, they are well maintained yet looking natural. There are good views of the lake from the trails and a few stops to rest. There is a small island on the lake where a wide variety of birds congregate at different times of the year. The picnic areas are mostly under the shade of trees. The canoes and boats are reasonably priced. There is a ferry's wheel. Unfortunately there is a lot of man-made debris that accumulate on the lake shore nearest to the entrance.

Nice quiet area for a run, walk, hike around the lake. Haven't used the facilities yet, so I can't rate them.

My office recently had our 2nd annual pig roast here and it was great! The large pavilion that we reserved had restrooms and was covered which could save your event although we didn't need that. There is a lake, marina, mini-golf, and other activities at the park. It's surprising that this park is so close to the city. You don't feel like it when you are there. It's very beautiful and tranquil.

We were married yesterday at Lake Accotink. The Park Service Rangers and workers were very helpful and accommodating. After the service and while the caterers were setting up, guests took walks, played mini-golf, played on the beach and road the merry-go-round. It was a perfect day and it appeared that everyone had a great time. Thank you.
