A Primer To Huntsman Park, Springfield

Huntsman Park is located in the south-central part of the county not far off the Fairfax County Parkway and relatively close to South Run RECenter. Huntsman Park is spread upon 110-acres. Huntsman Road bisects the park. The park includes a 28.6-acre lake that drains 2.3 square miles.

Location

Huntsman Park is found at 9150 Dorothy Ln, Springfield, VA 22153. The wooded park is a popular neighborhood destination. There is limited street parking on the north side of the lake, and the waters here are mostly lined by forest. The Dorothy Lane entrance on the south side of the lake has limited street parking, basketball courts, picnicking, a playground and a paved network of trails. It is a walk of a few hundred yards from this park area to the lake.

Trails

There are a lot of trails in the area, both asphalt, and dirt. Located next to Huntsman Lake, you can walk the trails all while soaking up the gorgeous view of the water.

Wild Life

Beaver, turtles, heron and other birds are common sightings in Huntsman Park.

Fishing

Though the lake is not huge, fishing in Huntsman Lake is quite relaxing.  Also, there are a few bluegills, bass, and perch here. Huntsman Lake and Park have VGIF regulations, so have your fishing license just in case. In short, Huntsman Park is a place to enjoy nature. With nature trails, fishing, playgrounds, and picnic areas, every family member will enjoy the day.
