Very nice and cute little place just outside of DC
Highly recommend visiting the welcome center. They have lots of information, exhibits, short movie about history, etc. and more importantly staff is nice, welcoming and friendly.
Great Falls Park in Virginia, close to Washington D.C., is a charming place for locals but not much known by those who do not live in this area. Here you can see one of the first U.S. canals, the Great Falls of the Potomac, and enjoy a hike along Mather Gorge's dramatic clifftops. The best of the park is, I think, that it offers excellent climbing opportunities for those living in the D.C. area.
Great outdoor experience. You can tailor it to be a long home or short walk to the falls. The falls were impressive and the visitor center staff was great.
Very informative and fun for the whole family. The park rangers we're all friendly and helpful as well.
