Windy Run Park 2420 North Kenmore Street, Arlington, VA 22207

"If you take the wooden bridge to the right, you could technically do a loop as the top of the falls as the half way point. Just be careful as it’s steep and rocky if you go that route compared to crossing the river."

"A short yet sufficiently challenging trail (maybe mentally more than physically) leading to a waterfall. There are lots of places where you’ll need to climb on rocks to get across the creek. There’s a very steep rock staircase but there’s a study railing the entire way down. Everyone was very respectful and wearing masks. Lots of families with small children! Even if you don’t go far into the trail, there is a lot of beauty to take in."

"This is a very hidden away little park. If you get here earlier during the weekend, you can avoid the crowding from families. Only issue is having to navigate across rocky streams and also down a very steep makeshift stairwell. But the view is definitely worth it!"

"My wife and I enjoyed this trail. There is a little challenging spots when climbing and navigating through the rocks in the creeks. Overall we enjoyed it. Only downside is that there were a few places where trash was thrown."

"One of the best little hidden gems for a hike in the Arlington area. The trail entrance is at the end of a cul de sac so most days there’s plenty of parking. The trail is really nicely developed for being so close to DC. There’s a stream that runs through the wooded area with footbridges and railings for more difficult spots. The trail takes you under the George Washington Parkway and then to a beautiful ~35 ft. Waterfall that leads down to the banks of the Potomac. At the bottom you can split off in either direction to walk along the river. To the right you’ll have great views of Georgetown and the Key Bridge. Awesome place for a quick afternoon hike without having to go to Great Falls or Shenandoah."
