Our first weekend here felt like late spring, so we headed for some lovely trails next to the Potomac river on the border of Virginia and Maryland. Great Falls Park is off of the George Washington Memorial Parkway in a well preserved 800-acre National Park.
Great Falls just above Mather Gorge.
The Potomac flood levels are recorded here, but you need to add another 100 feet for it to get to the top of the banks!
East Potomac Park, Hains Point is a peninsula about a mile from our apartment in a tidal basin of the Potomac. I've taken Ian there a lot for birding, it's a fine park with lovely views.
