Donations are greatly appreciated, but not required This creek has been settled for nearly 20,000 years, from the Paleo-Indians to today's residents, like us. In 1608, fish were so plentiful in the Potomac River that the English tried to catch dinner by swinging a frying pan from their boats. In the mid-1700s, Northern Virginia's first industrial development was the Neabsco Iron Works located just upstream of the modern I-95 bridge. After cutting the forests for charcoal and tobacco, the soil eroded and created the mudflats that we will cross. The views are spectacular, bring your camera and binoculars if you have them. We are able to keep these events free and accessible to everyone because of our generous supporters. If you would like to donate and support programs like this, please add a donation at check out.
