Wakefield - Accotink Mountain Bike Trail System

08/23/2026

Well - The Wakefield Bubble held yesterday and 13 of us managed to pull off a pretty successful mow, trim and lop day. The grasses and other green STUFF were about as high as we've ever seen them. We blew through all of our 50:1 fuel, most of our Ethanol Free gas and nearly all of our DR line. We still have one tree down in the woods, and I'm sure we may have missed one or two spots mowing, but most of the Park is clear, good for riding and free of itchy grass on the trail. Wanna help but can't make a trail day, consider donating. We will not have enough supplies for the last trail work day of the year: https://more-mtb.org/collections/virginia-trails/products/wakefield-park

DOH - Forgot to post this here. Wakefield Mow, trim and lop day this Saturday at 9 AM. If you've ridden the Park since the races then you know we REALLY need this day. If you have a string trimmer to bring, please do so. If not we do have a finite number to lend out. Sign up here if you can:

Some much needed work has started at Wakefield. 1st some new boardwalk, then some trail narrowing and then some work on the berm ascent hill.

Remember - This Sunday is the last official trail work day before the WednesdaysatWakefield race series starts. Don't let Larry be out there all by himself. You know he'll start singing.

It took us long enough but we finally got two work days up on the MORE calendar. If you've been riding regularly then you've probably noticed that the little green stuff is starting to grow up quickly.

The first trail day will be Saturday, May 9th, 2026: https://volunteer.imba.com/timeslots/tNLcE7FxkR

The 2nd trail day will be Sunday, May 23rd, 2026: https://volunteer.imba.com/timeslots/2Inr7GPDVO

Thanks to the 30-ish folks and crew leaders who showed up last Sunday to help get the trails at Wakefield ready for the winter. The last of the mowing and trimming, dead fall removal, bridge/boardwalk repair and two short reroutes all got completed. We would have liked to have done some drainage work out under the power lines but we just didn't have enough people but nobody is complaining! Couldn't make the trail work day and want to help by donating for fuel, equipment and the occasional donut, click on this link: https://more-mtb.org/collections/virginia-trails/products/wakefield-park

Looks like the Park Authority will be lowering the Lake level to complete their inspections. Look for the warning signs and fencing:

For those who like to ride from Wakefield/Accotink to Laurel Hill be prepared for the closures. Even after the first northern section reopens, climbing that hill to the detour is always TOUGH!

Beginning on March 17th, the Cross-county trail will be closed for 3 months due to the Pohick Sewer Rehabilitation Project. Once the work at the northern end of the project area is complete, the Cross-county trail will be reopened with the detour along Pohick Road. This detour will last for 12-15 months while the rest of the project is finished. For alternate park locations and trail options please use the Park Authorities Land Amenity Locator and Fairfax County Trail Buddy, both links can be found below:

THANK YOU to everyone who came out to the MORE Wakefield Trailwork day on Sunday. We got the trails trimmed back for late fall and winter riding/hiking. We had lots of representation from Team XXL and DMV Mountain Biking, plus a number of other wonderful volunteers. Such a rewarding way to give back to the trails!

For those who were not able to make it, we have another work day scheduled for Saturday December 14th: https://x.gldn.io/e/eYlwA4At9Nb
