great falls national park印象

I go here frequently with friends and family and have a wonderful time. There is a Virginia and Maryland side. I would suggest he Maryland billy goat trail. It is semi challenging.

We have a yearly pass to the park and come here regularly. It is a great place to hike, enjoy nature, have a picnic. The trails are well-marked, the falls are always impressive, and it is a beautiful area.

If you want to relax and be with nature, this is the place to go any time of the year. The sound of cascading water is very therapeutic whether you are savoring the view or hiking the scenic trails. Both MD and VA sides are equally astounding. On VA overlook, you can see the waterfalls drop while on MD you will see the breadth of the rapids of Potomac River. It can get crowded during the summer but definitely worth a trip. One of my "must see places" for visiting family and friends.

We were amazed the first time we went here. If you want to have a break from the city, it is a great place for short hikes, a picnic, or just view the amazing falls.

Who'd have thought there was such beautiful nature so close to DC? Well worth the trip. Great walks - long or short - and spectacular views of the Potomac in full flow.

I have been to Great Falls National Park several times over the years and each visit has been based around a school trip, company meeting or group outing. My initial visit years ago was interesting - but subsequent visits were fine but did not yield any additional excitement. First time visitors will see some great views of the Potomac River Rapids that run along the northern side of the park. There are plenty of hiking and biking trails to follow. Limited food availability. I would recommend it to first time visitors and those who like to look at fast moving water again and again.The most I interesting encounter I had was seeing a man wearing only hiking shoes. My wife and I smiled and said, "hello." After he had passed by, we looked at each other and said, "Did we just see that?" We looked back and as he went around a bend in the trail, our initial thoughts were clearly verified.

Have lived in VA for 30+ years and never went to this park. Beautiful, well maintained, handicapped accessible park! We went in late October and the leaves were extraordinary. Also, went to the MD side and road a canal boat.

Let me start off by saying I have lived in the area for over 15 years and just recently visited this park. Park is very clean and very well-maintained. The park is beautiful and I highly recommend to go during the warm summer months and not in February. You will have a fun time walking the trails and taking pictures.

It is as eferyone says remarkable that such a gorgeous park can be so close to DC. Go there to take a nice nature walk, look at the river rapids, visit the small museum, and or a warm day even have a picnic. For a more adventurous hike go to the other side of the river, the GFNP on the Maryland side, and do the Billy Goat Trail!

Nice walk with a little rock scrambling and some nice photo ops. Having a sunny day was a big plus. Bring bagged lunch and expect spot a pot and no water available.
