About the Moyaone Reserve
Welcome to the Moyaone Association website.

The Moyaone Reserve is a wooded community of 180 homes in Accokeek, Maryland. It is contiguous to Piscataway National Park, home of the National Colonial Farm, and to The Hard Bargain Farm, an environmental education center. Immediately across the Potomac River in Virginia is George Washington’s Mount Vernon home. The larger part of our conservation-oriented neighborhood is located in Prince George’s County, with a smaller area in Charles County. We are roughly ten miles south of the Washington D.C. Beltway/I-95, just west of Indian Head Highway.

Lots are five acres or more in size and are protected by scenic easements deeded to the federal government. The easements, established to protect the viewshed from Mt. Vernon, require that property owners obtain permission from the National Park Service before felling any tree larger than six inches in diameter.

The Moyaone Association is the homeowner group that owns and maintains the community center, pool, and roads, and works in the interests of the membership.

From this site, residents can participate in community forums, read the association bylaws, review scenic easement deed restrictions and get contact information for local resources.

Do you have an idea for the site?

The Moyaone Reserve - A History of a Unique, Environmentally Concious Community

The new book by historian and long time Moyaone resident George L. Hanssen traces the evolution of a unique southern Maryland community dedicated to the preservation of the environment and the Mt Vernon overview long before the term "environmentalist" became vogue.

Available from author George L. Hanssen, (West Ridge Rd.) 301 283-2041, Email gh723rbh@starpower.net at a cost of $25.00 (make checks payable to the Moyaone Association).

Water Issue

This projection uses actual Accokeek water level data and shows that at the current rate, the water will fall to the 80% management level (the point at which Maryland is obligated to take corrective action) in 25 years. Once at the 80% management level it would take an additional 24 years for the water level to reach the top of the aquifer - the point at which all Moyaone wells in the Lower Patapsco aquifer would cease to be productive. Any Moyaoner seeking more info is welcome to email Paul Sheets, pas@acm.org, or Margaret Schmid (Cactus Hill) mschmidchicago@earthlink.net. In the meantime, please visit this site for some serious statistics.
