“The frog does not drink up the pond in which he lives.” - Indian Proverb
|
| A Great Place | ||
Claude Moore Park hosts 357 acres in eastern Loudoun. While not all of it is passive, there are a number of wonderful trails, the longest being 3.5 miles long, and natural areas that include wetlands, meadows and forests. Vestals Gap Road, a trail that runs through the park, was once a route used by Indians to go between Alexandria and the Shenandoah. Claude Moore has some terrific walking trails as well as ponds. We've often seen a variety of herons here in the morning as well as other special bird species. Be sure to visit the FrogShackle while at Claude Moore. This special cabin holds a terrific collection of animal and plant specimens as well as hands-on activities for learning about and exploring nature. Muriel Spetzman, a long-time LWC member, set up these collections and is an incredible wealth of knowledge. |
