What is your wildest story from over the years at Lake Accotink? Wildest I can remember was when the guy bungee jumped and failed at it from the train bridge a number of years ago.

One time, back in the 80s a guy got a jet boat out on the lake. The jet boat was named "Suck my wake". This fat guy water skied and hilarity ensued.

One time I went there and saw a turtle.

The first All-Starr excursion led to the release of Ringo Starr and His All-Starr Band (1990), a compilation of live performances from the tour.[153] In the same year, Starr recorded a version of the song "I Call Your Name" for a television special marking the 10th anniversary of John Lennon's death and the 50th anniversary of Lennon's birth. The track, produced by Lynne, features a supergroup composed of Lynne, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh and Jim Keltner.[154] Shell Station 9803 Richmond Highway, Lorton, VA 22079 turn at Gunston Rd do not merge onto I-95 or I-95 South. Trun left on Telegraph Road 22309 north to Rolling Road. Turn around use Fairfax County Parkway 268 old road 7100.. Stop at Springfield Mall near Pollo Rico, see Ahmed Khan.
Call warehouse for parts. You can wait at Burger King or McDonalds on Backlick Road for Jennifer or continue to Industrial Drive.the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Mitch Mitchelland Noel Redding, later said that they had been warned about a planned drug bust the day before flying to Toronto and that they believed the drugs had been planted in his bag. Hendrix was the world's highest-paid performer when he was arrested, but this was his last tour, and he died the following year

I saw a clam and a beaver.

One time I tried to kill myself my drowning there, but it was so shallow I walked across the whole lake. It was really scenic.

One time I was on the train tracks on top of the bridge when I laid down when a train came by. As you can tell I was one of the unlucky ones and survived...

Contractor
Aliens
Shovels
You know the rest.

I went on a canoe trip there years ago and got ass raped by a redneck.

(13 July 1997, Virginia) Eric A. Barcia, a 22-year-old Reston, VA resident, was found dead yesterday after he used bungee cords to jump off a 70-foot railroad trestle, police said.

The fast food worker taped a number of bungee cords together and strapped one end around his foot. Barcia had the foresight to anchor the other end to the trestle at Lake Accotink Park, and he even remembered to measure the length of the bungee cords to make sure that they were a few feet short of the 70 foot drop. He proceeded to fall headfirst from the trestle, and hit the pavement 70 feet below several seconds later.

Fairfax County police said "The stretched length of the cord that he had assembled was greater than the distance between the trestle and the ground." Perhaps the deceased fast food worker should have stuck to the line, "Do you want fries with that?"

I also remember when some prisoners escaped from lorton, they followed the tracks across the train trestle and where caught in Burke. I was in Elem school so prior to 1979.

Math was never a strong point for Eric.

I once saw the ghost of what looked like a confederate soldier late one night. Anybody else see crazy stuff like that there?

Not while straight.

I saw a dark creature (seems to be a creature of a female) standing not far from me maybe the distance would be 10 to 15 feet from the boat ramp from where I was standing. I was not able to see her face as she was standing from her back in front of me.
Later I found out that this was the ghost of Eva Roy.

I bielive that you saw the dark creature. I really bielive it. It is totally bieliveable.

And then the dark creature took you to a chalkboard in the pavilion and learned you to spell correctly.

I once saw a guy fucking a goat there. Crazy? Yes!
