FIRST KAYAK IN VIRGINIA! Well first kayak adventure for us since we moved to Virginia anyway. A sprawling park right in our neighborhood, LAKE ACCOTINK provides an excellent venue for short walks, jogging, mountain biking, and yes, kayaking. Spending a few hours exploring the various waterways in the park was very relaxing. Because it is in the heart of Springfield, VA, and only a stone's throw from the Beltway, the wildlife is very limited: birds, turtles, occasional paddleboat, but otherwise a fairly nice afternoon.
