Great day out from DC! This place was great and a perfect respite from DC amid the pandemic. You can walk as little or as much as you want - we ended up doing a 6-7 mile walk through the marsh area..... more

Beautiful park with great trails. Only open a few days a week, so check before visiting. A variety of trails, most pretty easy and maintained. Great views of wetlands and water, including several boardwalks, platforms, and blinds. Nice little visitor center and restrooms. Fantastic place to see raptors, songbirds, waterfowl, herons, and insects. Pay entry fee inside.
