Like going for short hikes on the trails, they are well maintained yet looking natural. There are good views of the lake from the trails and a few stops to rest. There is a small island on the lake where a wide variety of birds congregate at different times of the year. The picnic areas are mostly under the shade of trees. The canoes and boats are reasonably priced. There is a ferry's wheel. Unfortunately there is a lot of man-made debris that accumulate on the lake shore nearest to the entrance.

I love coming here. The environment is "tranquil." The hiking trails are awesome, the lake is just peaceful.

This park is a great place to go for bikers, walkers, and runners alike. I love going to this park to run around the trails, it's beautiful and very relaxing. Personally, I prefer Burke lake which is about 20mins away from this park but they are both very nice.

A stream valley park with a trail that loops around Lake Accotink and includes part of the cross county trail. Has a family area with a beautfully maintained carosal, miniature golf, dock, paddle boat and kayak rental and a snack bar. Once a month during the summer, a band will play in the evening.ČI like this park for the single track mountain biking. Mountain bike trails weave between the railroad and the foot/bike trail (a civil war railroad bed) between the Danbury Forest tot lot and the dam. The trail that loops the lake is wide, suitable for a baby stroller and you will see joggers, walkers and bikers on the trail. You can usually see herons and turtles in the lake and Accotink steam. Fishermen come in April for the stocked trout. Look for marsh marigolds in early spring and bluebells in April near the footbridge over the creek between Danbury Forest and Braddock road.

This is a lovely park for taking long walks and medium long hikes. There are trails/bike paths that are paved or leveled and finished with gravel. There are smaller trails that wind back through the woods. It also is good for biking. The lake is very pretty, and there are nicely developed picnic areas.

My office recently had our 2nd annual pig roast here and it was great! The large pavilion that we reserved had restrooms and was covered which could save your event although we didn't need that. There is a lake, marina, mini-golf, and other activities at the park. It's surprising that this park is so close to the city. You don't feel like it when you are there. It's very beautiful and tranquil.

Close to town, good walking trains, boat rentals, and free entrance. If you want to take the kids out for a day, it's great. I wouldn't drive for hours to get there as it isn't worth the trip. But for a local park its good for a day's outing.

We were married yesterday at Lake Accotink. The Park Service Rangers and workers were very helpful and accommodating. After the service and while the caterers were setting up, guests took walks, played mini-golf, played on the beach and road the merry-go-round. It was a perfect day and it appeared that everyone had a great time. Thank you.

Hiking trails are great fun, but the rest of the part leaves much to be desired. It always seems to be messy and out of sorts. It is a public park, so I can't expect it to be the Shangri la of parks. I would not dare go into the water, let alone let my dog drink out of it. I continuously see dead fish floating, which scares me. Hoping this year they've clean it up a bit.

There's nothing wrong with this park. If you live in Springfield or Burke it's a nice enough community park with a pretty lake, picnic area, carousel and running/biking trails. I used to work near this park and would come to walk during my lunch break. My only concern was that the park was relatively empty at this time and sometimes I wondered if I should really be walking on my own in a relatively empty park. That said, nothing ever happened and I'm sure it was just my imagination being over active! I rate this park average because I feel like nearby Burke Lake is much nicer and dynamic. For some reason, it was usually gray and cloudy when I'd come to walk here, but I just don't get all the warm and fuzzy feelings I get when I think of Burke Lake. But if you live in the neighborhood, the park offers more than enough in the way of trails and nature. I've even seen a few herons here!
