Hidden Pond Nature Center - A Springfield VA Treasure

Hidden Pond Nature Center

The information in quotes below was taken directly from the Hidden Pond Nature Center website where you can find more specific nformation regarding programs that are offered at the nature center. The important point of this post is that there is now a 2,000 foot trail that links the 25 acres of the Hidden Park Nature Center to Pohick Stream Valley Park - a meandering 7,000 acre park. It is one of the many reasons to consider making Springfield your home.

"Acres of undisturbed woodland, quiet trails, splashing streams and a tranquil pond are just a few of the reasons to visit Hidden Pond Nature Center. Tucked away in Springfield, Hidden Pond is a neighborhood haven filled with wondrous things. Hidden Pond, at 25 acres, lies adjacent to the much larger Pohick Stream Valley Park which boasts over 700 acres. A new 2000-foot trail and bridge has connected the two parks, so that many more neighbors and guests can visit the Hidden Pond Nature Center as well as the pond, streams, wetlands, woods and other quiet places that these preserves have to offer."

Hidden Pond Nature Center is open daily from noon until 5 p.m. during January and February. March through December, the center is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; weekends and holidays from noon until 5 p.m. Closed Tuesdays.

Springfield is an almost fully developed residential section of Fairfax County - land was wisely set aside to provide numerous and diverse parks in the immediate area.

You point out so many neat spots to experience nature.  I hope you can get to them without enduring the congestion that enfolds the area.

What a wonderful sounding place. I vividly remember visiting a local nature center as a field trip every year when I was in elementary school. I learned so much and had so much fun.

Hi Karen. Hidden Pond has a lot to offer residents in Springfield area. A walk through a large nature park like that near any community would be a wonderful attraction for all the residents. I know I would be in Hidden Pond quite often if I lived in your area.

Have a Wonderful Day!

This sounds like a place that my RV needs to visit. Even if we can't stay there. There has to be some place close we can nest and then go visit. I'll google it!!

Karen Hidden Pond sort of reminded me of a spot on my parents property I use to escape to.  Back then I ready 4 books per week so I liked a peaceful spot.
