Description
This trail begins at the south end of Riverbend Park and can be accessed near the middle of the trail at the Riverbend Park Boat Ramp. The trail runs along the Potomac River. It switches between a well-traveled, somewhat wide, path, to singletrack, highly technical with a handful of pretty steep climbs.
