A railroad track runs through this park and it runs along the Occoquan River. Great place to take your dog. The trail is hilly in places. Very few people on the trail. Limited parking on the Yates side. There is an adventure camp for kids here. On most weekdays there will be groups of 5th graders at various points in the adventure camp. But the kids dont go into the trail to my knowledge. So dont be concerned about being disturbed on your run/walk/jog.
There is a spot you can launch boats from. There are also horse trails.
There is winery just outside the park entrance on the Yates side.
Nice short trail with nice view.
The trail is beautiful and peaceful, and full of wildlife!
I will warn that I did see a raccoon a little after 10 in the morning, near the trail as it bends back along the river, maybe a mile or so in from the Occoquan trail head. He looked a bit young, and he ran off when he saw me, but just a heads up to any hikers in that area. Raccoons are nocturnal, and if they're seen during the day, they may be sick (rabies). Just a heads up.
