Blockhouse Point Park
About the Business
Blockhouse Point Park is a beautiful natural oasis located at 14750 Maryland 190, Potomac, Maryland, United States. This park is part of the Blockhouse Point Conservation Park, which features numerous trails that were once used as a wartime transportation system for supplies during the Civil War. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the Potomac Valley, explore mature upland forests, and discover historic Civil War ruins within the park.
The park is located between the C&O Canal to the south and Esworthy Road to the north, bisected by MD Route 190, River Road. The majority of the trails are designated for hiking only, while some are designated for hiker/equestrian use. Biking is prohibited in most areas of the park, except for the Muddy Branch Greenway Trail, which connects to the C&O Canal towpath.
There are two gravel parking lots available for visitors, with the larger lot able to accommodate approximately 25 cars and two to three horse trailers. A park sign and kiosk with a map of the trails are located at the larger lot. A smaller lot at the western edge of the park can hold only a few cars. Whether you're looking for a peaceful hike, horseback ride, or a scenic spot for a picnic, Blockhouse Point Park offers something for everyone to enjoy.
