Starting at South Run Park, we will explore the South Run Valley Stream Trail and loop trails around Burke Lake and Lake Mercer. 14.5 miles with 500 ft of gain. Hike leader Carol Christensen, c.chri...@comcast.net. (703) 819-8332. Meet at 8:30 at the parking lot next to the recreation center at South Run Park, 7550 Reservation Drive, Springfield.
BRING MICROSPIKES!
We will hike around Lake Mercer first, in a counterclockwise direction, and it is advisable to stay together for this leg of the hike, since there are many twists and turns. The Burke Lake segment is more straightforward so hikers can go ahead on their own if they want to. If trail conditions are bad, the hike may be shortened.

Regretfully, I won’t be able to make it. I will be flying back from Chile that day. Enjoy the hike!
