Great Falls

One of my favorite places ethier VA side or MD side both have really nice cook out areas in the shade with picnic tables. All u need is your charcoal your food and cooler.

Go after several heavy rain showers and enjoy a higher water level and splashing falls! The picture is during late, dry summer and lower water level.

Great spot for a refreshing weekend near the DMV. On weekends, try to go early—police sometimes close the enterance, which is about 1.5 miles from the park. If it’s closed, you can park at the small lot just before the Great Falls signal, called ‘Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail.’ There’s an easy hiking trail across the road that takes you to Great Falls in about 35 minutes.

great park with nice trails and picnic areas. During weekends there is an entrance fee

Breathtaking views of the waterfalls. Great Falls also has several hiking trails. A little less busy during the winter months. Great picnic spot!

Crisp air invigorated the senses as vibrant leaves danced on the gentle breeze. The cascading waterfall provided a soothing soundtrack to the breathtaking panorama. Nature's artistry painted the landscape with warm hues of gold and crimson. A gentle mist rising from the waterfall added a touch of magic to the scene. It was a truly memorable autumn day.

$20 at the gate but so worth it! Absolutely stunning views, with easy to walk, mostly shaded path. Could only take my dog on certain trails, because there are endangered animals within certain areas. Please be respectful of these precious eco systems!! Wonderful day!

A beautiful place for a good walk, rock climbing and bird watching. A place to decompress and connect with the natural world.
