What a beautiful hidden gem. I truly recommend going here. Beautiful sunset. There are plenty of grills there where you can cook up something good and then enjoy the magical view.

This is a very pretty park along the river/bay. The trail is interesting with the boardwalk. I managed to get a picture of some of the local wildlife. It was not too crowded probably because it was a little cold. There are restrooms and it is dog friendly.

I love this place! It’s one of my favorite state parks, not just in Virginia, but out of anywhere I’ve been. The rangers are very friendly and just great. The scenery is gorgeous, the park is packed with wildlife, there’s plenty of trails, and it’s so pretty here. I loved the boardwalk over the wetlands. Another great thing is the ten dollar fee, no seriously. It prevents overcrowding and this is the cleanest park I saw in Virginia. Every other place I went hiking had trash everywhere, this place did not!

Great, easy hike with kids/dogs, flat ~5k out and back, good bird sighting and not busy

Beautiful park reserve on the Potomac to see lots of wildlife and enjoy the amazing scenery. Although it's not far from the city you couldn't tell from the serene forest and water around you. Unbelievable to see bald eagles roaming around, as well. Well worth the drive and the minor $10 parking fee. Will definitely come back for another visit
