Join the club on a field trip to Great Falls Park Visitors Center, Virginia. Open 7am until dark-30 mins after sunset. Plan to meet for 3pm Picnic. The visitor Center is closed, so meet at the falls.
At Great Falls, the Potomac River builds up speed and force as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through the narrow Mather Gorge. The Patowmack Canal offers a glimpse into the early history of this country. Great Falls Park has many opportunities to explore history and nature, all in a beautiful 800-acre park only 15 miles from the Nation’s Capital.
