6Enjoy Great Falls Park
Great Falls is situated in McLean, almost 15 miles from Arlington. Right near the entrance, there are three different viewpoints where you can see the Potomac River’s waterfalls in the Mather Gorge. The majority of the hiking trails are rated easy to moderate.
If you’re looking for more of a challenge, hike the favored River Trail. The southbound route takes you along the edge of the gorge and offers exceptional views. The North River Trail takes you to the Riverbend County Park. Here you’ll find seasonal water fountains, restrooms, and a place for a picnic.
