Accokeek is … Idyllic!

Accokeek is just 1/2 hour from Alexandria and Washington, DC, but a world apart from the city. It is home to Piscataway National Park with its public fishing pier and two boardwalks over fresh water tidal wetlands, and a variety of nature trails, meadows, and woodland areas.

Nature photographer, Todd Frantom has captured the wonders of his daughter catching a really BIG fish. For more of Todd’s photographs of the natural wonders surrounding Accokeek, check out Nature Images, https://www.facebook.com/focusedonnature.

Accokeek is more than just a beautiful, unspoiled natural environment and I will be writing about some of the other characteristics that make this such a special place in future entries.
