If You're Looking for a Little Bit of a Challenge While Hiking, Adventure to One of The Following Locations:   River, Ridge, Cct and  Swamp Trail at Great Falls Park This route, located adjacent to Great Falls Park, is a favorite of locals looking to burn some calories while taking in some scenic views. There's just something special about being able to hike alongside the water and being challenged by some rock scrambles with the payoff being some gorgeous views. When the weather is good the park and trails tend to get busy, so we advise our friends that they should go as early as they can.   Bull Run Occoquan Trail The Bull Run Occoquan Trail is the perfect trek for hikers who want a bit of history with their hike as the area played a vital role at different times in history from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War.  This incredible path takes visitors through more than 5,000 acres of scenic woodlands and includes various battle points and land features, as well as the more curious, like a grouping of earthen mounds that once comprised a make-shift Civil War fort.
