Geocache Description:

Huntley Meadows is the largest park in Fairfax county and I believe it's one of the most beautiful parks in the state. I thought it deserved a 2nd cache.

Take South King's Highway to Harrison Road
Park at theHuntley Meadows Parking lot at the corner of Harrison Lane and Lockheed Road.
Parking Lot Coordinates: N 38 45.407 W 077 05.906

This is a 1.5 mile round trip stroll from the parking lot. Trails lead past the nature center, through the woods, along a raised boardwalk path through the wetlands to another section of woods. The cache is in the woods, past the wetlands and past the observation stand. Don't bushwhack through the wetlands please! Bring binoculars. Watch for turtles, water birds, frogs and deer.
Unfortunately this end of the park does not welcome dogs although I've seen them there.
This is a beautiful park. I hope you enjoy it.

Cache is a 12" by 10" by 5" black plastic case which latches closed.. Please latch it tightly when you leave so that the local wildlife does not have a field day.

Permission to place this cache was given by Gary Roisum who is Park Manager for Huntley Meadows Park.
