One of two crossings over the Scott's Run stream. Can be easily achieved due to the concrete stumps which allows the hikers to step on. No special footwear required.

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.
