I love…read morehow for years, despite the town and county's plans to tear up the fields, trees, and wildlife for more and more data centers and townhouses for a never-ending, growing population, one thing has been constant and that's this small park. I've come here for years and despite possibly making a fool of myself with this statement, I must say this park is one of my top spots to visit even as a man in his thirties. There's a feeling of peace when walking the perimeter of the pond and being able to listen to the bugs, ducks, and toads over the now usual sound of passing vehicles, their horns as well as builder/landscaper equipment. There is parking on the side of the street and trash can facilities for those who know how to dispose of their waste correctly. They added doggie bags for dog walkers and i always notice on my visits the many walkers and joggers that want to excercise while also taking in the beauty of this nature preserve. I can only pray the Ashburn community can continue to prevent the property developers (responsible for the thousands of townhouses and data centers) from destroying this park for another complex.

It was a really nice hike. Easy to find, just off off Battlefield Parkway. Upon pulling in you can find the walking trail map towards the front center of the lot. They have a few starting points from the lot. We chose the white blaze trail to start and returned on the blue blaze trail. The trail is very easy for the first third. The second third has several hills, but isn't too steep and has bridges over ravines and creeks that need to be crossed. The last portion of the trail is about a 30 - 40 foot descent to the river and it's rather steep. Coming back up, even after walking along the entire riverfront to a different part of the trail was rather steep, so bring appropriate shoes to ensure plenty of traction. The views at the end of the trail, of the Potomac River are amazing! It's really beautiful, quiet and serene! It's a quick hike... one you should try for yourself!

The views of the river is breathtaking with the sound of the stream soothing over you. Obviously watch if it rains since parking here can be gross during a storm. The parking lot is a gravel area so puddles will abound. Beware! You could probably hike around this park area in a little over an hour if you're physically active. Another one in Loudoun I can cross off.

It was 25 minutes long and it took you to the back fields and through the woods. It wasn't mind blowing but it was a pleasant ride to immerse in and kind of feel like you are on a farm. We bought tickets at the store where they also have cool old-timey simple toys for sale, along with items like apple butter. We loved seeing the animals including cows, calves, horses, pigs, peacocks, ducks, and very vocal sheep! Parking and general admission are free! If you are in the area, this is a wonderful stop to make. You can even milk cows at certain times of day.

The pathways are clear allowing for clear views of the beautiful blue skies and sounds of nature.

I think the tick problem reported in earlier reviews has been resolved. Most of the trails are mowed and wide. Yesterday I hiked there for two hours in shorts & barefoot open sandals and had no tick encounters. Some of the trails, however, were overgrown and had fallen trees (e.g. Tree Loop). I think this may be symptomatic of the season - many trails in my stomping grounds of Algonkian/Seneca Ridge (VA) and Great Falls are more overgrown this year than normal. I am subtracting one star for the rather judicious use of signs, especially those leading back to the Visitor Center.

I went in January so I didn't run into that problem. It is grassy, meadowlike trails, so I can see where in the warm months there could be ticks. So many trails to get lost on and enjoy the natural beauty. I read there are 20 miles of trails and that in the spring the fields are filled with wildflowers. The trails are fairly easy hiking. Mostly flat with some small inclines from time to time but like I said, mostly meadow hiking. The only thing I wish was different was clearer signage around the trailheads. It took me awhile to figure out where certain trails began and where to access them. Once you're on them they are clearly marked. I've lived here all my life and this is certainly a hidden gem.
