Lake Accotink Walk

Take a lovely walk around Lake Accotink! Aside from a few short, steep hills, the trail is pretty flat. The walk should last about 1.5 hours.

Directions: Lake Accotink may be reached from I-95 by taking Old Keene Mill Rd. west to right on Hanover Ave. Turn left on Highland Ave. and then right on Accotink Park Rd. Watch for the entrance on the left (it kind of sneaks up on you). The park is tucked behind a nice, residential neighborhood. If you are coming from Franconia Rd., note that Franconia Rd. becomes Old Keene Mill Rd. in Springfield.

Once you arrive, park in the large parking lot adjacent to the railroad trestle. We'll meet underneath the trestle on the left side of the parking lot.

Wear comfortable shoes and bring water. We'll be walking clockwise around the lake.
