This beautiful 800 acre park is "where the Potomac River builds up speed and force as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through the narrow Mather Gorge".
Nearly a half million people come to the Great Falls Park each year. This park has so many things to offer. You can have a picnic with friends on the grass near the falls or you can go on a short hike in the woods. Looking for something more adventurous? There are countless trails along the rocks that overlook the river. Simply gorgeous!
This park also offers fishing, whitewater boating and rock climbing! You can read about all of the outdoor activities available here.
This place will take your breath away!
