Riverbend Park

400 acres of forest , meadows , and ponds await you here. Kayakers and canoeists can explore, while anglers and families can bring a boat or fish from the shady riverbank. But nothing beats the views !

Hike riverside under tree canopy along Potomac Heritage Trail . Look at islands to witness a growing-again eagle population, which signals improving health of river . Bluebells are a must-see, too!

Excellent free way to enter Great Falls if you are willing to just take a short walk.

Hikes are easy here. Lots of wildlife along the Potomac . Virginia bluebells carpeting the understory is a sight to behold.

Went on a 4 mile run, lots of climbs, descend to the falls and get back along Potomac . Bit slippery.

Tucked away in a remote river setting, this park has over 400 acres of forest , meadows , and ponds . Kayakers and canoeists can enjoy exploring many islands in the Potomac River . Open 7AM-dusk. Read more

Nice facilities, great boat launch

Best hike in area as no fees

Come in early spring, come anytime.

Love the sound of the rushing water...

they sell ice cream in the visitor center - but watch out for spotty hours/schedule
