about Riverbend Park:

Riverbend Park boasts over 400 acres of forest, meadows, ponds, and streams bordering the Potomac River. Numerous resident and migrant birds, and spectacular wildflowers are some of its highlights. A pavilion, available for special events, can be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Other facilities include picnic tables and a boat ramp for private launches. Swimming is prohibited in the river.

Riverbend Park Nature Center is located at 8814 Jeffery Road and is open only for scheduled programs, groups, and appointments; for more information call 703.759.3211. The Visitor Center (address above) has live animals, seasonal exhibits, a nature library, and a naturalist on duty during open hours. Information about several self-guided programs can be picked up at the Visitor Center, including a hike along the Potomac River Gorge Trail and a Scavenger Hunt.

Kids ages three through eleven can celebrate Birthdays on the Wild Side by discovering the exciting world of nature at the park. For reservations, available dates, and cost, call the park.
