I love this park! We hiked for a couple hours, and the trails were well-marked with beautiful scenery. Me and my dog made it to the lake and ate lunch by it, which seemed clean and well-kept. This is my favourite lake to visit!

Went on a whim as a weekend trail hike destination and ended up renting a boat and spending the day on the lake. Prices are super reasonable and they offer tackle and bait, sunscreen and extras and lunch options as well as boat rentals. Boat rentals include canoes, kayaks and John boats with the option to also rent a trolling motor so you don't have to paddle. The prices are super reasonable. We spent about $80 for the John boat rentals with the trolling motor, sunscreen (we expected to trail hike so didn't bring it) and lunch for myself, my fiance and our three year old. Life jackets are provided with the boats and you can stay out on the lake until 5pm when boats need to be returned. We spontaneously decided to rent a boat instead of hiking and went out around 3pm with the trolling motor and it still felt like we spent a ton of time on the lake. The dock wrapped around the visitors center has holes drilled in the railing for fishing poles and fishing is encouraged (I will definitely be bringing my daughter here for fishing as well as doing the trails we never got to) and they sell tackle and bait at the shop. It's a nice big lake and in the two hours we were out we still didn't get to explore all of it. We are super excited to revisit and plan to bring family and friends next time. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the outdoors, fishing and boating and it's absolutely stunning with all the fall foliage! Such a gorgeous hidden gem with super reasonable prices. Parking is great and the visitor center has full restrooms while the hiking trail entrance has porta potties (one of which is disability friendly) in the parking lot. Would recommend 10/10.

Clean and well marked trails. During stick season you get views of the creek nearby on the walk.

I went kayaking with my sons a few weeks ago and it was wonderful. We saw a few Bald Eagles and that was an added bonus. The staff was very kind and helpful. Looking forward to next season for more opportunities to get out on the water.

Nice wooded area where you can go hiking, mountain biking, archery, and launch various types of watercraft on the river. The Bull Run Occoquan trail is popular with trail runners and hikers but remember to bring lots of water. The trail is heavily wooded so you mainly see trees with a couple side trails that allow you to walk down to the Occoquan reservoir. There is a large parking area with a sheltered picnic area next to the woods and a few single picnic tables scattered around. There is restroom but not adjacent to the parking area which seems really strange as it is a few minute walk away. Great mountain biking trails to the south east from the parking lot (across the street) which includes beginner, intermediate, and advanced trails. They close the mountain biking trails after any recent rains but I don't know for how long.

Made it back after it dried out and the green, blue, and black trail loops are fantastic for mountain 🏔 biking 🚴‍♀️. Tough flowy trails with cool technical features on the blue and black loops.
