Needwood Lake is located in Rockville, Maryland. It’s great for hiking, fishing, or mountain biking. The walking/biking path around the lake is well kept and most of the way you have a great view of the lake. There is little elevation gain so it’s a hike anyone can do, even The Traveling Pomeranian.

There is a creek that leads up to the lake. It has great secluded hiking trails and often you will see deer. 

There is a large dam that you are able to walk across and overlook the lake. 

This is such a beautiful area for being in a city that has more than 1 million people. 

The Traveling Pomeranian gets tired with her little feet so when we go hiking a lot of her time is spent in my backpack. 

Back by the creek there are a few areas where it branches off into the woods. There are cool trails that cut right through the forest.
