Lake Accotink Community Survey Open to April 1
Although Lake Accotink is not in Hunter Mill District, many county residents use this Park Authority asset and have attended events there. As you may have seen in the media, the dredging of Lake Accotink is under review by the county. County staff have determined that dredging would cause significant environmental and social impacts and cost approximately $400 million over the next 25 years. That is a huge tab for a single lake in our 400 square mile county and the Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services (DPWES) staff recommends that Lake Accotink not be dredged. Learn more. A community survey is available to provide input until April 1. Comments may also be submitted by email.
