Lake Elkhorn - Lakeview Office parking area
Lakeview Office Building parking lot on the other side of Brokenland Parkway from the dam end of Lake Elkhorn.
This area is NOT on the same side of Brokenland Parkway as the lake.
Columbia, MD

Let's walk around the lake or through the woods toward Savage (but not all the way), just about a 2 miles. We will walk the loop around the lake or walk for about a half hour toward Savage then turn around and walk back.
Either direction we walk, the starting point to meet up will be the same - at the Lakeview Office Park Parking Lot. This walk will take approximately 1 hour.
If you're unfamiliar with the area and need more detailed directions please let me know.
Here are the best directions I found:
From 32 West
* Follow Route 32 West toward Columbia to the Broken Land Parkway exit.
* The exit forks; bear RIGHT (heading North).
* Go through the first traffic light on Broken Land.
* Stay in the left lane.
* Take the first left into the Lakeview Office Park. (If you reach the second traffic light, then you have gone too far.)
* Trailhead is all the way to the upper left corner.
If you're coming from Rt. 29 you'll take the Broken Land Parkway exit toward Owen Brown. You'll pass the Stevens Forrest Rd intersection and then two intersections for Cradlerock Way (three lights total). After the third light you'll crest the incline in the road and turn right into the "Lakeview Office" parking lot. Take a left and the trailhead is in the upper left corner.
I'm guessing those of you who are "maybe" might be watching the weather. I don't want to walk in the rain and neither does Connor. Tess might, but Connor and I can overrule her. If it is raining, I will cancel this walk, so look for a message tomorrow afternoon confirming and saying this is a go or no-go.
