Park Club - Occoquan Regional Park!
Details
The park has dense forests, paved walking and biking trails, the Turning Point Suffragist Memorial, and water access for the Occoquan River, a tributary that flows into the Potomac River. At the park's center is a large, beehive brick kiln, the last of what had been as many as eight others that were used during the turn of the last century to produce many of the bricks found in Washington, D.C. and the surrounding area. The bricks were mainly made by prisoners of the neighboring Lorton Reformatory, which closed in 2001.
For public recreation it has a paved mixed use path, picnic shelters, seasonal kayak rentals, a 5 km loop trail, a batting cage, and athletic fields. It also is the starting point of the Gerry Connolly Cross County Trail which stretches all the way across Fairfax County up to Great Falls National Park. Don't worry, we won't be hiking that.
And if you need a drink or snack, it has a fantastic cafe.
