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.

Tucked in the Landsdowne area next to the Lansdowne golf course, the scenes and views of the river…read moreare spectacular, especially when that sun is shining. 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.

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.

The bathhouse was clean and had hot water. Most campsites only have lukewarm or cold water. There were also an abundance of toilet facilities and they were well maintained/cleaned. The view of the Potomac was breathtaking and the only downfall was that the camping sites are relatively close to each other both on the mountain and at the river's edge. I do recommend this center, however, and we will likely return when back in the area!

This place is unmonitored and such a devastating loss of a safe resource for kids who are there for the right reasons. Frederick Douglass would be horribly disappointed in these youth. Arrogant, acting a fool, completely missing the point of the theme, and an awful and embarrassing representation of Loudoun County. They were belligerent, swearing, and acting a fool in front of young children. Way to go "parents." It makes me ill thinking of the lack of civic knowledge amongst these kids. Blatantly stomping on hard earned tax payer dollars with this once fabulous community resource. What an absolute shame. I will never go back and never take a class here either.
