Giles Run/Laurel Hill Workday -

[Jackson]

The Giles Run Trail, a single-track trail at Laurel Hill park in southern Fairfax County, is due to open in October. It will be the first 1.5 miles of a planned 10 miles of single-track connected by the Cross County Trail. Laurel Hill is a new Fairfax County Park Authority park located at the old Lorton prison property. In 2006 REI funded a grant to MORE for a conceptual trails plan for the Laurel Hill property.

The plan was developed by IMBA Trail Solutions and accepted by Fairfax County Park Authority in the spring of 07. IMBA Trail Solutions was then hired by Fairfax County to flag and start developing the single-track trails. The new trail will start in the shadow of the old maximum security facility at the 8400 Lorton rd trailhead. It loops around the Giles run stream valley and connects with the CCT while providing access to the fishing pier and between the front and back 9 of the planned disc golf course.

Volunteer Day: Meet at 10 at the trailhead.

Bring: As usual, water, gloves and sturdy shoes. MORE will provide tools.

Plan to help out on Saturday. I think they may be done with the majority of the work over by the trailhead and possibly be sending the volunteers to another section on the other side. Will be in the parking lot at 9:30 and follow directions from there.
