Mason Neck State Park

Reviewed By WPLandry - Fairfax, United States

The hiking trails are fabulous, very well-maintained and clear of debris. The maps are laid out very well and there is signage posted to help you understand which way you are heading. Everything is very easy to follow. The trails have benches throughout so you can stop and simply enjoy nature. There are sections of boardwalk as well as steps in certain areas to make the trail more accessible. There are many other features in the park as well: a nice visitor center, boat launch, beach area, playground, picnic sites, and more.

Occoquan Regional Park

Reviewed By cpl1775 - Herndon, United States

We came to the park just to walk around and found ourselves walking all the way to historic Occoquan! It's about 1.5 miles each way, but what a lovely walk. Then after walking back to the park, it was a perfect afternoon stroll by the water and just sitting on the benches. The cafe smelled great and everyone there seemed really content. There are several trails to roam of varying lengths, boat rentals, the cafe, and some great open spaces. A really nice way to spend the day outdoors.

Pohick Bay Regional Park

Reviewed By U9199FSroberth - Palmetto, United States

Met a friend for a round of golf on a top 18 hole course, then hiked and went down to the Potomac River. Located on historic Mason Neck in Lorton VA, this park has everything, including Bald Eagles! Great for outdoor recreation and a Pirate themed pool for the kids in the summer! Four other nearby parks and historic sites too. Make a weekend out of it!
