Great Falls National Park

Great Falls National Park, located only 15 miles from Washington, is a haven for the DC crowd. One of the most visited national parks in the country, it can get crowded, especially on summer weekends. Hiking trails afford views of the beautiful Mather Gorge and the Potomac. In addition to the hiking trails, about 5 miles of multi-use double track trails are accessible to equestrians and mountain bikers.
