Woodside Lake Association

Woodside Lake is a private seven acre lake located at the intersection of Brook Road and Daleview Drive in McLean, Virginia. (The exact address is 8761 Brook Rd.) It is fed by springs as well as two creeks. It is owned by the Woodside Lake Association, a non-profit organization. The Lake has a sandy beach area and docks for swimming. It is the home to numerous wildlife, including a 30 year old snapping turtle, blue herons, woodpeckers, wild turkey, beavers, and numerous fish. It has been a focal point of the community for over 50 years.

The Lake Association promotes a sense of community by hosting several events each year. The Lake serves different purposes for different people. Some people enjoy reading the paper on the docks, enjoying the quiet solitude, while others bring their kids to swim, fish, boat or study the wildlife.
