Northern Virginia Hiking Caches

[+Baxter-MD]

I am interested in finding some local caches in the NoVa area that need a little hiking to get to them. Anywhere from 2 mi to 5 mi round trip would be good. All input is appreciated.

The "B" Team has recently placed a whole slew of caches around the reservoir. It is estimated to take from 5-7 hours to grab them all.

See this one as a reference point:

“Merganser” Point

 

And of course the ones around Burke Lake, which is 5 miles around the lake I believe.

See this one as a reference point:

Burke Lake Park

 

And a Fountainhead Park, there are about 16 there, and that is a nice hike to grab those.

See this one as a reference point:

JoeCthulhu's Birthday Micro

 

Hope this helps.

I'll second the Fountainhead caches, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert make a nice hike. Likewise Weird Stone House and several nearby caches, especially if you come in from the main Fountainhead parking area.

 

At Pohick Bay, Pohick Bay Park Cache Hunt is a nice hike, and Meadowood Scramble looks interesting.

You can try one of mine, a great hike but LONG and HARD. It's Signal Knob The views are great.

I'll shamelessly promote one of mine that I think you'd enjoy, it's A Little Difficult "Too" GCMX8D. Round trip is approximately 3.5 miles.

And of course there's a bunch on the AT.
