This park is very busy. We arrived at 9:30 in the morning and there were already a lot of people in hammocks, grilling and wading in the water and a lot of people putting boats in the water. We talked with the staff at the visitor's center and they stated that the park is mainly used for the boat ramp and it's often at capacity. They seemed excited for us to come in and talk with them and were very friendly and welcoming. The kids section of the visitor's center was amazing! My son loved the prepared slides and microscope. He spent a long time looking at all the slides. We decided to walk the Bushey Point Trail which seemed to be an exercise trail, but a lot of the markers were on the ground. The trail to the railroad bridge also seemed to need some TLC and cleanup, it was a little overgrown. We saw osprey pretty close to the bridge and my son found a beautiful shell on the small beach by the bridge. Not one of my favorite parks, but still nice. $10 entry. Lots of the cars parked with boat trailers had annual passes.

I love coming here for the little beach area. It's $10 to enter the park per car and they have a small stretch of beach. We typically go during the week and it's never that busy. There's also a nice visitor center with educational things for the kids. As of recently, the playgrounds and fishing pier are closed until further notice. You can check their site for updates. There are also hiking trails and camping, which I haven't done yet. This place is a little gem, love it!

This was a nice park. Lots of families playing on the little "beach" and rocks. Plenty of tables and parking.

I recommend visiting this park.

I went to check the park out on a sunny, winter day. It cost $10 to get in, but was well worth it, because I spent 5 hours in the park, exploring the beach area and walking the trails. Even in the winter-time, it was beautiful. It was very scenic walking along the beach area, next to the Potomac River. On the Lee Woods Trail, I liked reading about the history of the Lee and Fairfax family and seeing where their homes once stood. I really liked this park and will definitely bring my friends and family here.

Historic trails, barbeque area, and shore lines for sunset views, is all in one place, bring comfortable shoes. Stay a while.
