Majestic views of the Potomac River and
connecting trails to Great Falls Park
 | Basic Conditions:
 | Over 5 miles of marked trails and
additional unmarked trails cover a variety of terrain passing through mature forest,
fields, and emerging woods. My favorite is the 2.5 mile sandy trail parallel to the
Potomac River shoreline.
|
| Shoreline trail connects to the trail
system at Great Falls National Park.
|
| Parking is available at the Visitor Center
lot. We park at Great Falls Park and ride over to Riverbend.
