Audubon Naturalist Society Woodend Sanctuary

Reviewed By BettyAdler - Chevy Chase, United States

The Audubon Naturalist Society Woodend Sanctuary has managed to maintain a completely natural and exquistely private retreat near a busy commercialized area. You'll never know that you are so near stores and residential homes! Go for a walk at dusk and you'll see lots of animals! I love the peace and quiet there. The Woodend Mansion is a delightful site for weddings and other happy events.

Butler's Orchard

A family farm providing good, green fun and local produce for over 71 years. We offer 300 acres of pick-your-own fruits and vegetables, a Farm Market, and special events throughout the year. At our annual Pumpkin Festival enjoy a hayride, jump in the hayloft, swoosh down the giant slides, visit barnyard buddies, play the rubber duckie derby, and explore the corn maze! Enjoy beautiful fall foliage, live music, hand dipped caramel apples, and lots more!

I went to this place with a lot of elementary age children and we all had a great time. The staff are wonderful,The hayride was fun, and the blueberries we picked were delicious! There is also a playground and a few animals. There isn't much shade, so make sure to dress accordingly! Oh and BRING WATER!!

Rockville Civic Center Park

In winter it's not much. Wait until spring when the flowers are blooming, and the activities are on the rise. Be sure to check out the mansion and pick up a list from the theater for shows throughout the year.

We had a great time at lock house 10. We spent the weekend and went on a couple of bike rides. We biked into Georgetown for lunch. Then biked towards great falls. Lock house 10 is nice with a full kitchen and parking right next to the house. We also enjoyed coffee on the screen in porch listening to the frogs.

Lockhouse 22 - C&O Canal Trust

Pennyfield is exemplar of the basic types of structures (aqueducts, locks, and lock houses) built along the C&O Canal. The furnishings in Lockhouse 22 are evocative of the mid-1830s to early 1840s period. Lockhouse 22 is rustic with no electricity or running water.

Love finding these treasurers as we walk the C & O Canal!!! This one has been well maintained. Worth the walk on the Towpath to come across these great finds!

Lockhouse 25

Lockhouse 25, originally completed in 1830, interprets the story of the C&O Canal and the town that surrounded Edwards Ferry during the Civil War. The lock, lockhouse and the ruins of Jarboe’s store are set next to the Edwards Ferry Boat Ramp which looks across the river to Virginia.

So lovely! House is quaint and comfortable -- and interesting as well. Great location bw canal and Potomac (just a min walk away -- great place to watch sunset). All windows have screens. Was super clean when we arrived. Bring lots of water, and plan to pack your trash. Perfect stopover for an overnight bike trip! Now, I want to stay in all the lockhouses! Thank you C&O Canal Trust!

Homestead Farms

Reviewed By NanC258 - Washington DC, United States

Lovely family farm! We visited many years ago when our children were small. I was glad to see the goat bridge is still operational! We didn’t want to pick apples but loved the rows and rows of zinnias. At $6 per bag (or 50 cents per stem), I brought home an armload of vivid colors home. Great selection of fresh produce. The farm was fairly crowded but there was enough space to keep our distance. People were good about wearing masks.
