Bull Run / Occoquan Trail Hike

The Potomac Appalachian Trail Club, which maintains the Bull Run /Occoquan Trail, calls it Fairfax County's best kept secret.  From the PATC website: 

"The word 'Occoquan', translated from the Doag Indian dialect means 'at the end of the water'."

"Early colonial settlers adhered to the English custom of naming water courses by the tidal characteristics, A broad tidal stream was called a river and a small tidal stream, a creek. The water channels above the tidal level, however, flowed in one direction only and were named 'rundles' or 'runs'."

We'll wind our way along this hidden jewel of a trail for about 5-6 miles. Bring your binoculars for some mid-winter birding.
