Description
The
Indians called this land "Pohick,"
the Algonquin word for the "water place."
Today, Pohick Bay is still the water place
a water-oriented park 25 miles south of the
nation's capital. The
park occupies a spectacular bayside setting
on the historic Mason Neck peninsula in Fairfax
County. In early times, George Washington visited
the area frequently. Mason
Neck is an ecologically fragile land that shelters
a profusion of wildlife especially the bald
eagle. The developed recreation areas are concentrated
where they will least disturb the delicate balance
of nature.

clubs. Local golf magazines repeatedly name
Pohick Bay as one of the area’s most challenging
courses.
