Directions to Sandy Run
If you are coming from Lake Ridge/Woodbridge, just head toward old town
Occoquan and take Ox road across the Occoquan river. Turn left on Hampton
Road where you will turn left. Go about 1/2 mile on Hampton road and turn
left on Van Thompson Road (you will see power lines overhead, just in front
of you). After about 1/4 mile Van Thompson bears sharply to the left at a
well weathered barn and continues down a hill to the entrance to Sandy Run
Park.
Parking attendants charge a $5-$10 parking fee (This
helps pay the Park Authority for use of the park). Park and either take the
walking trail or ride the shuttle (for a small fee per passenger...about $1
each). If you choose to walk, bring comfortable walking shoes – the trail
is about ½ mile long and there are some steep sections along the lake. See
you there!! Go Hylton!!
