“Great afternoon with the kids”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2012

They have a small concession stand, picnic tables and sand by the water. The drive in to the park is a little long,... More

“Great trails”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

This is a DC area gem. The hilly trails are great for hiking and running. There's some civil war history, and lots of nature. I have seen kingfishers, bald eagles, red shouldered and retail hawks, owls, peliated woodpeckers, foxes, and big snapping turtles. More

This is a great place to spend an early afternoon in the spring or early summer before it gets too terribly hot. There's a small beach front area by the lake where kids can play in the sand and splash in the water (no swimming allowed). There's a carousel and miniature golf as well as a tour boat ride around...
