October 24, 2009 - Field Trip: Huntley Meadows Park - Northern Virginia Photographic Society

Huntley Meadows Park is a rich, natural island in the suburban sea of Northern Virginia. Its 1,425 acres harbor majestic forests, wildflower-speckled meadows and vast wetlands bursting with life.

Some of the best wildlife watching in the Washington metropolitan area is enjoyed here. From the ½ mile wetland boardwalk trail and observation tower, people have excellent views of beavers, frogs, dragonflies and herons. Huntley Meadows is well known as a prime birding spot, with over 200 species identified in the park.

The park has two entrances. The main entrance and Visitor's Center may be reached by taking Beltway Exit 177A (Richmond Hwy., Rt. 1) south 3.5 miles to right at Lockheed Blvd., 1/2 mile to Visitor Center entrance on left at Harrison La.

To Huntley Meadows Park S. King's Hwy. entrance, take Beltway Exit 176A (Telegraph Rd.) south 3.5 miles to entrance at intersection of South King's Hwy. Visitor Center and boardwalk can't be accessed from this entrance.

The park is open from dawn to dusk. We will meet at the main entrance parking lot at sunrise.
