Peaceful beautiful serene place. Raised boardwalk trails and through the woods trails. Great place to clear your mind and take in the gorgeous view and breeze. A hidden gem. Surrounded by nature. My picture is from winter but it's lush green come summer

A wonderful place to spend some quality time in nature. We took our four-year old and had so much fun walking the trails, enjoying the sunshine, and meeting some animals. We spread out a blanket near the water and stared up at the clouds for a while too. On our way out, we saw some ladies spinning wool that was harvested from the sheep at the park! This is something that the group does once a month, together, at the visitor center. Our little girl loved spinning the yarn (with help of course). The only thing that would make this place better is more animals :) The animals that were there were clearly well taken care of and loved. The park is very clean and well-maintained. Ample parking on a beautiful Saturday too. Keep up the great work!

It's perfect for a relaxing day out. The trails are well-maintained, and the boardwalks are great for birdwatching. I even spotted a bald eagle when I was there! Don't miss the National Colonial Farm; it's so cool to see the heritage animals and learn about the area's history. Overall, I'd say it's a fantastic spot for a quiet picnic and a leisurely walk. The blend of nature and history makes it a really special place. I highly recommend it for a peaceful day trip.

It was a good getaway for us. About an hour's drive from Arlington, VA. We went there on Monday so it wasn't crowded at all, only a few people from nearby neighborhoods walking their dogs. We walked around and enjoyed the view since it was peak fall season and the views of beautiful fall foliage was worth it even though there wasn't much activity there to do. The scenic drive to the park is all we were in for honestly. Also you get a nice view of the gigantic house of George Washington in Mount Vernon.

Very nice little park with walking paths, kayak launch on the Potomac, and an old farmstead for exploration. The river views are pleasant, the historical displays about the native history are fascinating, and the heritage livestock kept on the farm are interesting. A bit out of the way but worth the trip if local.
