Scotts Run (VA)

A good trail system runs through a wooded suburban park a few miles downriver from Great Falls. I noticed the Sierra Club was leading a hike there on November 17, so we joined a dozen or so others for a lazy Sunday ramble of about five miles. A highlight was the picturesque waterfall where Scotts Run dumps its bounty into the Potomac. Dry weather had diminished the volume in both streams. We’ll go there again sometime when the creek and river are higher and then complete the trek along the Potomac Heritage Trail to Great Falls.

The Potomac.

It took quite a battle to save these woods.

Relic.

We want to hike this trail to Great Falls, VA.
