October 25, 2022 -- There are two sides of Great Falls Park: Virginia and Maryland. I took Mom to the Virginia side of Great Falls. The Virginia side of Great Falls is officially Great Falls Park. While not designated as a national park, it is managed by the National Park Service. The Virginia side is better suited to Mom since it has several extensive overlooks that are wheel chair accessible
At Great Falls, the Potomac River builds up speed and force as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through the narrow Mather Gorge. The National Park Service protected the land in 1960. Great Falls is the iconic symbol of the Potomac River.
Just me
Just Mom
