Walk in Reflection Park

*Update 5/2/2026: I would like to reschedule this event for Saturday May 16th to partially overlap with an invasive plant removal event, pending property owner approval. Stay tuned and comment below with feedback!

We can park and meet at the end (traffic circle) of the paved road in the park.

We can explore the natural burial area, then walk in the woods using the 1 mile trail.

Reflection Park is on a 40-acre parcel of land, with a section dedicated to a multi-faith natural burial ground. The rest of the park is a wooded area with a trail.

See https://www.reflectionpark.org/ for more information about Reflection Park. Address: 16621 New Hampshire Ave, Silver Spring, MD 20905

Note: No bathroom available on site yet (the closest is at a nearby gas station) although there was a very nice porta-potty available during my last visit.

Usual protection for Maryland outings: Water, sunscreen, tick protection.

Myrna's note: Now that the weather is warming up, I hope to schedule approximately one cemetery walk per month.

Please feel free to leave a comment with date and time suggestions for this or any future outings!
