Name: Hike around Beaverdam Reservoir
Start: 2025-11-30T10:00:00-05:00

Location: Beaverdam Reservoir Park

**Walk off Thanksgiving gluttony with a 7.5-mile circuit** around Beaverdam Reservoir in Loudoun County. With minimal total ascents (about 300 scattered feet), the trail runs on or near the reservoir -- a recently flooded quarry, now an important water supply. We'll go through cedar, pine and what remains of leafy forest. Most of the tread is on easy ground, with few rocky places.
This is the tenth in a series of hikes featured in the latest edition of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club's guidebook on select trails in Northern Virginia. The co-authors of the recently released edition are the hike's co-leaders.
All participants including leaders are required to sign Sierra Club's standard waiver and standards of conduct form. The club requests a modest donation ($2 or so) by participants to defray training, communications, and other program costs.
Bring enough food and water to sustain yourself. Be prepared for changes in the weather.
