Fantastic nature center, ample trails with variability in terrain and direct hiking access to the Potomac Heritage Trail. Would highly recommend.

The trails down to the river are in okay condition, but you have to be pretty nimble since erosion reshapes the streams rather frequently. There is a fair bit of trash around the good picnic spots and fishing holes along the river.
