A quick, shady hike with a few steep parts and a nice view of the Potomac.

20231105 Great workout!! It has been a long time since I came here. So happy I came back today.This is my first time visiting this park. To my surprise, it is very clean. There is a small parking lot that will accommodate about 20 cars. There are ruins with description of each building. Very interesting and educational. The trails are dirt covered with many exposed roots, and very well mark - color code is marked on the trees. Along the water, there is a trail that is not part of the trail map. To get there, take the Green/White from the left side of the parking lot, with the road behind you. It is a short walk to the water, about 1/4 mile. Be careful when you walk downhill to the water, the trail slopes down with deep steps. Walking up to the trail from the water is a great workout... Up hill.As I continue on the White/Green Trail, eventually, it parallels with the water, and there are 2 overlooks with fences along the cliff. Both provide a nice view of the river. To get to the overlooks, it is a steep downhill followed by an steep uphill hike. Great workout! I discovered that you don't need to back track from the overlooks back onto the trail. There is a trail at the top where the overlooks are that connects and continues you to the White/Green trail. So, when you get to the first overlook on your left, take the trail by the first of to the 2nd overlook on your left. It connects to the White/Green trail to continue on. When I reached the part of the trail that gave me a view of the Leesburg Water Treatment Plant, the trail was blocked by a fallen tree. I walked around to the right and climbed over another fallen tree to get around it. From there, the walk to the parking lot was a short one.I will definitely return to this park again. Great workout on the White/Green trail. Recommend wear hiking shoes.

Nice little, walk through the woods, overlook has a good view of the river. Part of the trail can be slippery when wet. Overlook has a fence to help prevent people from falling. I went in the morning and it was very peaceful.

Great place for a short walk, there are several steap spots so be cautious and know your limits. Also be aware that the mud by the river is like quick sand and very sticky and slipperyDog-friendliness: Must be on leash (as pets shoukd always be)

An awesome hike with amazing views. The parking is always open too. The start of the hike was easy with a slight decline until you get to the river part and its very steep and muddy. As you make your way to the peaceful overlooks you will find a very steep hill but the view is worth it and the way back is very fun and easy 10/10.

Beautiful during the fall! Had a good time until I got a cramp. I recommend for anyone who loves hiking! There are some very steep slopes.

Took my 2 year old hiking here. I had to carry her a few times, but otherwise it was a very easy nature walk. She loved seeing the river, and we both left a little muddy and tired.

Love that the park doesn't get overcrowded. Trails are fairly flat until you get closer to the river. It was a little muddy when we went so we had to be careful not to slip but overall the trails are well maintained. A good quiet piece of nature hidden in the hustle and bustle of NOVA

Some of the trails were crazy steep but lead to such gorgeous views.

It’s a relatively easy hike, unless you go down to the river side. That does have a little bit of a steep trail but I would highly recommend it. I have a number of health conditions like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, and I was still able to make the trek easily. It’s definitely worth your time.

Well defined trails. Good views of the Potomac River. Smallish parking lot. No facilities.
