1. Matildaville Trail, Great Falls Park

McLean

This heavily-trafficked out-and-back trail located in Great Falls Park is just about 2 miles, but it’s packed with some gorgeous views, and even a trek through ghost town ruins! The wooded dirt trail is well marked and takes you by one of the park’s famous waterfalls, as well as through the old, long-defunct town of Matildaville. In the winter, there are limited views of nearby Mather Gorge, where the Potomac River builds speed and power.

Please note that this trail is narrow and can get muddy. Hikers are asked to yield to those on horseback.

One of the many waterfalls along the Whiteoak Canyon Trail.
