Reviews
"Visited this historic site at Chapman state park and got to meet a descendant of the family and learn some interesting facts about the property!"
"Very scenic with lots of signs giving the history of Mount Aventine. There are a lot of very nice hiking trails and walking along the Potomac river is very nice."
"We visited in May 2019. Beautiful and tranquil spot for a picnic with magnificent view over the Potomac. One of my favorite spots that I day-dream about often."
"The entrance was closed for vehicle traffic. I parked at the entrance and walked through the side gate. The walk to Mount Aventine was half a mile. As I got closer to the house, there were trees planted on both sides of the path and Mount Aventine slowly began to appear between the trees... Very pretty view. Behind the house is a large field with a path, River Access Trail, to the Potomac River. I stopped behind the house, saw the frame of the smokehouse, and turned around to walk back to the car. Total of 1.05 miles. I was going to hike the trails but my pups already walked over 2 miles before arriving at the park. I didn't think the want to go another couple more miles. The entrance to the Coastal Woodlands Trail is on the right before reaching the house and there is a portable potty in the trees right after the Coastal Woodlands Trail. After passing the trail entrance, the Potomac River Trail entrance is on the left. Look for a rectangular information sign and you will see the trail entrance. Everything is well marked. This park is very quiet and peaceful. I will probably come back and hike the Marsh Trail, which is what I came here for. Didn't realize I couldn't drive up to the house, closer to the trail entrance."
"Pretty Views from the top of the hill all the way out to the Potomac. Trails have plenty of informational signs. We walked the trail to the River and then back up to the house. My wife was smarter than me and brought bug spray, but still we had lots of bug bites when we got home."
