    I started from Bull Run Marina (plenty of parking) and walked for approximately 2.5 hrs round trip. The first portion of the trail sets around the reservoir. The trail was well marked off, with steep hillsides, crossed numerous streams, some areas were slightly muddy. 3-4 mountain bikers passed through noticed plenty of quartz through my entire walk

    A stream you cross on the trail.

    It was muddy so I did not venture far from the parking lot. I had a little time away from my caregiving responsibilities in Manassas and I just happened to come across this trail. It was a welcome, serene experience. One of the highlights of my brief trip to Virginia.

    fun trail! we went on a dry, sunny day so there wasn't too much mud. keep in mind that if you live outside of "jurisdiction" you have to pay to get in which i find strange since there are other sections of this trail that are free to everyone

    This trail is cool, but if it is raining you will get muddy. Some parts of the trail are a little difficult to make out. I had a great time hiking this trail but that was because of the company. There is a lot of greenery but not many flowers. You mostly follow the river but there are parts that veer away from the river. Most of the trail is pretty flat, but there are some hilly areas. We only hiked about 8/20 miles of the trail starting from the Bull run park. Parking was easy to find. We were the only people on the trail but it was raining. Some parts of the trail were not maintained that well. Around mile 8, you could easily walk up to a winery and chill for a bit. Good times, and I would do this trail again. Not much to see, but the greenery was nice. No flowers, or high mountain views. Being next to the river is nice too. I would rate this trail moderate difficulty. It is flat most of the time, and the path is easy to walk. There is no rough rock climbing or stepping around big roots and branches. The brush is pretty thick though so I would recommend wearing full sleeve shirt and pants. Horses also use this trail but luckily they have separated this trail for walkers and horses, so you would not be on the trail with horses coming behind. 3 stars because there is not much to see, but still a good long trail to hike.

    First off extremely nice county employees. They have some amphibians and reptiles on display. As a…read moresnake guy, they take wonderful care of the animals. Also they have exhibits children will like. Could the county modernize this a bit? Yes please! However the exhibits tell a story, about animal species and nature that's in the area. I like that the folks are so approachable. The building is also pretty neat. By all means go behind it, and see what remains of older buildings. Also the pond is active with frogs and turtles. Walk on the deck and the views are pleasant. Parking sometimes on the weekends can be challenging. As for hiking opportunities, the trails are beginner friendly, and provide a way for city folks to enjoy a different experience.

    Beautiful, peaceful, and vast yet dynamic, intimate, and serene…read more I came here for the first time on a winter day in the morning around 9am. With lots of open space for parking, I sat in my car and just had my coffee and donut. The view(s) from the parking lot itself was lovely (see 1st pic). The trails, too - although I didn't walk that much - also seemed nice; birds were chirping and the few people were friendly and said hello. Unlike other trails and parks which can be overwhelming in terms of its space and completely deserted at times, this place seemed is planned and paved well; it's doable for non hikers and great for casual walkers. If you are single and or have a dog, a couple, or in a group, this place seems to be for everyone, and it is a great place to come and reflect.
