One of my goals for the year is to hike 10 hikes from AMC's Best Day Hikes Near Washington, D.C. On Saturday, I finally knocked off one.
The hike at Seneca Creek State Park starts at the parking lot and does a lollipop around the lake. The book bills it as a moderate 4.5 miles; my mapping app says it's 5.5. However, my tracker came in at 7, (with a slight shortcut out), and it's usually fairly accurate. Safe to say, 4.5 is incorrect.
From the visitor's center parking lot, we followed the creek for a while, which was pleasant, before reaching the lake. There were only modest ups and downs. The hike around the lake, of course, benefitted from views at nearly all times.
