Nice place to hike and get in a quick cardio worky. Be careful if you venture to the water area,…read morethe trail to get there is a bit steep. 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.

Great little park in Leesburg with amazing views of the river. Some historical buildings too. We…read morecovered about 2 miles of trail. There is some elevation change where you can get down to the river. Other than that we are talking flat easy trails through the forest. But be warned there were several trees down across the trails, so wheelchairs or strollers might have a challenge.

Trails go both ways along the river and aside from the golf course. Due to the tall grass and bushes, recommend wearing long pants and shoes that you don't mind getting dirt/mud on. The park is secluded so you'll get some peace of mind here. I think that's why we visit parks right?

I found this lovely public park on a list of the best Northern VA hiking trails for toddlers. And…read moreit was right - the main trails, which snakes along the Potomac, was very easy for my little girl to walk (or skip). Not to mention it's beautiful, even on the foggy morning we paid the park a visit. Just past a clearing, you can climb down to the river and, that morning, the sight of water and sky blending into each other and the entire landscape covered in fog was something out of a storybook (or the set of a horror movie, I guess, depending on how you look at things). After a little exploring and a (very) light hike, we came back to the clearing for a little snack. There are a couple of picnic tables but you'd be just as fine laying out a blanket. The list I mentioned earlier called the park a "best-kept secret" of the area. Being tucked away behind the Lansdowne golf course and a residential neighborhood, I'd say that's true. "Secluded" is another word that seems to be used often to describe the park. Also true and a welcome quality in pandemic times. But while it may not be one of the most well-known parks in the area, it still enjoys quite a few visitors and the parking lot looks like it can fit no more than 20 cars at a time. Luckily, everyone we encountered - even on the trail - was masked...and very friendly! We enjoyed this park very much. With a young toddler, the hiking enthusiasts that we are a little limited in where we can go. Happy to add this Riverfront gem to our "will return" list.

Wow, I am glad I didn't look at the reviews before going. I'm really surprised it gets such a low…read morerating but from reading what people have to say..it looks like it is because of the ticks. 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.

I came here before reading the reviews and I'm glad I did. The outdoors is great but yes, you do…read moreneed to be prepared when you're out in the nature. It's not your backyard. Lots of creatures live outdoors. LoL. Be prepared. You should apply sunscreen and then apply your bug spray. Wear socks that you can roll up if the grass gets high or roll down as needed. I have 50 hair ties in my bookbag. It gets hot, hair goes up. Don't hate it here because nature got the best of you. Try again in the fall. That's my plan anyway. The bugs were hungry today for sure. I spayed the first 10 min here and then I had to spray again an hour later! They bite thru your clothes so spray your clothing as well. I have never had issues w/ticks. Luckily they don't like me. IDK why but I spray my shoes too just in case. The trails are very well maintained. Mostly they are in the sun but there's a fair share if shady trails also. I did have some issues on the white oak trail. I had to stop and look for it at one point. It just faded out. Also on the White Oak trail I caught all the spider webs w/my body so thank me later! I felt like a cocoon coming off that trail. Yeck. I see they are growing trees and also put in some goats to keep the vegetation back. It's quite invasive for sure. So, yes I think fall would be nice. No bugs, less invasive plants and no leaves on the trees means I can see the view of Bull Run Mtn that much better. I enjoyed exploring this place. I'm pretty sure I'll be back.

The river was relaxing, the views were gorgeous, and the whole day just felt easy and fun. A huge shoutout to Spider, our guide, who truly went above and beyond. Not only did he keep the energy high with great vibes and a friendly attitude, but he also made sure everyone was safe and accounted for throughout the float. We noticed him picking up trash along the way. So awesome to see someone taking care of the river and setting a great example. He really cared about both the people and the environment.
