Directions: Hemlock Overlook Park is located along the Fairfax County side of Bull Run in western Fairfax. Walk through the staff gravel parking lot past an iron gate that says "no motorized vehicles". The trail will lead you to an open meadow where you will see a team building obstacle course. Continue walking until you reach the end of the meadow, where you will find a trail head wide enough for a car. About 500 yards down the trail just past the 4x4's that are acting as water bars, you will find the tree to your right.
