Beginning at the main parking area follow the Potomac Heritage Trail - Scott's Run north. This is a wide, easy path with two creek crossings. Both have stepping stones as the water is almost always high enough to require them.
After finding the Scott's Run Waterfall, you'll turn east along the Potomac River. This trail is has a lot more roots and rocks so watch your footing. Slowing down may be required in some areas.
Before the Potomac Heritage Trail, Scott's Run leads you out into a neighborhood; you'll need to take a connector trail to the right, which brings you to the Oak Trail. There will be a trail map at the intersection if you're confused. Follow the Oak Trail until turning left on the Stubblefield Falls Overlook Trail. This trail brings you down to the smaller parking lot where you'll turn right again and follow the Parking Lot Connector Trail back to your car.
