Reviews of Gilbert's Corner Regional Park
"Surprisingly enjoyable. The previous reviews are spot on. The experience is definitely what you make it. The terrain is very easy to traverse (great for families), and there is an adventure at every intersection. To do it justice, give yourself at least a few hours. Part of the fun is researching the namesake of each trail to learn a bit of history. The late March trek highlighted new growth and allowed for more visibility through the trees. Spring and summer foliage will more than likely yield denser vegetation. HAVE FUN!"
"There are two main, connected, trails; a small grass covered 'bluebird trail' and a longer one that leads into the woods. The longer trail is a nice respite from the city and the shorter is definitely designed with children in mind. If you walk the shorter loop, it is easy to hop onto the longer trail. The parking lot is immediately north of the roundabout that has Mt. Zion church. It is the second roundabout east of 15. If you come near sunset, you can see the sun lower over Bull Run Mountain. Even the parking lot would be a nice place to unwind for a moment. There is a little library in the parking lot, so a nice place to read a book, take a book, or leave a book. Speaking of libraries, the smaller bluebird trail has a 'story trail' from the Loudoun County library. There are small signs with pages from a children's story book placed about every 30 feet along the trail. They seem to change them with some frequency, and the changing of the seasons seems to be a theme of the books they select. I don't know how far north the larger trail goes. I have only walked about 30 minutes with a toddler, but there is a charming little creek and quite a bit of wildlife. It doesn't take long before the sounds of 50 are extinguished and the tranquility of a trail established. Throughout the fall and spring, there is a bit of mud, but nothing unmanageable in sneakers. This is a dog friendly trail: plenty to sniff and not many thorns. My photos were taken in February or early march---it is much greener during the summer."
"A pleasant park. A small parking area directly at the corner of Rt 50 and Watson Rd. Simple, wide, grass /dirt trail system. No signage along trail, but no matter which trail you pick, it eventually goes around to where you started. Just don't walk along fence along someone's back yard. Expect several parts of the trail to be muddy / wet after a day of rain. Good luck walking across the little creek with some rocks. Lots of bird feeders throughout. We will come back in summer or fall, when there's beautiful vegetation along the trail."
"I was pleasantly surprised to find wide trails through the meadows and a somewhat wide trail through the woods. The one through the woods could have been a little less muddy and could have had a better creek crossing but it was a very nice little walk around and I found some geocaches."
