Tuesday Nite Hikes: Lake Needwood like you've Never Seen it! (Rockville)

This 6mi moderate hike is no easy endeavor for it has lots of roots & some steep slopes, such as the dire DERWOOD DIP; visualize a dexterous descender. If you bring a dog watch your tether! The trek encircles a DRAMATICALLY DRAINED Lake Needwood like never- ever, beginning with a HISTORIC MANSION that appears to have lasted forever. Then think of the positive after seeing a benign burned area, being better while meandering over MUD affected by machine & weather. Afterwards evade getting wetter to preserve any potential leather stepping through a small, stony STREAM CROSSING. Latter of the circuit concludes with various verdant viewpoints worth to remember. Animals are abundant! Expect wildlife ranging from those with a feather... And beyond: Skinks, Brown Trout, & a clever sun- basking brown bear [sculpture]-- oh my! Completing this hike is worthy of a Letter! | MAP
