What sections of the trail are appropriate for families with small children?
Any section of the trail could be walked with children; however, some areas are rougher and require more care. Also, there are some road and stream crossings that are difficult. The following sections would be especially suited to families with young children. • Accotink Stream Valley trail between Pickett Road and Wakefield Park is flat, mostly paved and all stream crossings are bridges. There are a number of road crossings that are marked with crosswalks. • Lake Accotink Park trail between Braddock Road and the marina is fairly level, stonedust surface, with bridges at stream crossings. There is the added bonus of the fun activities at the marina, including rental canoes and paddle boats, tour boat rides, a carousel, and miniature golf. • Difficult Stream Valley trail between Miller Heights Road and the right-ofway extended of Miller Road is stonedust surface, gently rolling with lovely views of the stream valley. • Pohick Stream Valley trail just south of the Fairfax County Parkway
