Riverbend Park

Naturally unique and sensitive

Riverbend Park's location on a Potomac River bend has created a rare combination of geology, plant life, wildlife, isolation and beauty.

ADA Access UPDATE: September 25, 2018

Riverbend Park will temporarily curtail waterfront activities due to weather-related events. The Potomac River is cresting Wednesday evening, September 26, at 7.5 feet.  As a result, access to the Potomac Heritage Trail will be limited. Boat ramp and boat rentals are closed through the weekend of Sept. 29-30.  Please call Riverbend Park at 703-759-9018 for updates.
