    Hiking

    Scott's Run waterfall into the Potomac. Best visited early in the mornings if solitude is preferred. Gets heavily overrun in the summer by a lot of people sun bathing, picnicking and swimming. Good place for letting dogs swim in the river.
    Great trail to an amazing waterfall. So beautiful and calm. Trail is a little strenuous and uphill. You have to cross water by using stepping stones in 2 places.
