We will be hiking the Beaver Lake Trail, 2.56 miles and about 60 minutes to 90 minutes (very generous amount of time).  A very nice, easy hike along Beaver Lake and through the woods to enjoy a later summer afternoon and early summer evening.

At 6:15pm we'll meet up near Ledo Pizza, 7052 Commons Plaza, Chesterfield, VA, just off Beach Road and Route 10 (Ironbridge Rd).  I'll have a 2000 WHITE 4-dr Honda Accord.  I have a park pass for those that want to save on park admission although by that time of day they almost always let people in for free.  We'll then drive to the park and you can follow me to the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Museum, just up from the spillway.

If you want to drive directly to the park, use mapquest or Maps.Google on "State Park Road and Beach Road, Chesterfield, VA" to get to the turn off and to get to the main gate.  Head for the CCC Museum, where we will meet to start the hike.

We'll being the hike at 6:30PM.  The trail head is just downhill from the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Museum towards the lake.

Bring several bottles of water or a hyration bladder, a hat, bug spray AND a hand towel to wipe away the sweat.
