From Alexandria,
Virginia
Travel south from Old Town,
Alexandria on the George Washington Memorial Parkway towards Mt. Vernon.
After crossing the stone bridge at Hunting Creek (unmarked), take
your next left at "Belle Haven Picnic Area/Dyke Marsh."
The trail out to the marsh is beyond the bike path, on the right,
but be sure to scan the cove in front of the picnic area for
waterfowl and eagles. The Sunday morning walks meet at 8 a.m.
in the south parking lot of the Belle Haven picnic area. Walks are led by
experienced birders and all are welcome.
