Eakin Park (Mantua Section)

It was Ok ... I was there to fish the creek. I'm not sure where the trail is or if there is one. I just walked my way to the creek through all the brush and woods. If the creek was up you wouldn't have been able to fish much due to the high banks and low level of the creek. It's fine just be aware if you decide to fish there isn't an easy path to take.

whole park is lovely and filled with wildlife

It is cool after the rains along the Accotink Cross-County Trail, the flooding is still present though (May 17, 2018). The park caretakers have done a great job of clearing the trail for walkers, bike riders, and joggers. Trees that fell during the bad winds storm a couple of months ago were cut and moved off the trail as were a lot of branches. Sections of the trail between Pickett Road, across Barkley Road, and to Prosperity Road are paved whereas some sections are gravel. Be careful where some of the paved parts are crumbling from water washing away at them. Stay stay on your feet but remember to listen and look around you. There are all sorts of flora and fauna to capture your attention.
