Sunken Road and Marye's Heights Loop

03/01/26

This is an easy historical path that is part of the Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania Battlefield NP. The first half is mostly flat and accessible. Then you have to climb a short slope that would be challenging for mobility impaired. The slope takes you to the confederacy’s positions during the bloody December 1862 battle and provides amazing overlook of the city. There is also a Union cemetery on the hill.leisurely 60-90 minutes to read the 7 park markers and contemplate history. Restrooms in the bookstore and visitor center (closed for renovations 2026)

Paddle through the Ghost Fleet of the Potomac at Mallows Bay

The Ghost Fleet of Mallows Bay, as it's now known, is the result of our great nation's call for 1,000 wartime transport vessels to be built in 18 months. The quick deadline led to hasty construction and, when World War I ended before the contract was fulfilled, hundreds of ships sat unused. Attempts to salvage materials from these already-obsolete vessels proved fruitless and many of the ships ...

Woodmarsh Trail

Just at the entrance to Mason Neck State Park is the Woodmarsh Trail. The entire loop is about 3 miles. This is a pleasant easy hike that is relatively flat with no rocks to speak of. The trail wanders through a forest and passes by a large swamp along the Potomac River. There is one well built observation platform along the way called Eagle Point. After this point the trail approaches the mars...

Trail Run at Bull Run

Great spot for a run! Very accessible for those in the DC region. A good starting point is the Henry Hill Visitor Center. If you want to avoid any crowds, start early. From the Henry Hill Visitor Center, you can't really go wrong (as far as direction is concerned) since most trails can be linked together to form a loop. I started on the First Manassas Trail (pictured) and it was phenomenal, s...
