Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,
If you haven't noticed, Matildaville Trail is my favorite in Great Falls. It has interesting scenery and varying terrain to keep you chugging along on your hike or run. This morning, we started at the VC and headed down Patowmack Canal Road to Matildaville Trail and turned left deeper into the park. We continued along until we got to Sandy Landing. We walked down the steep paved road to admire the stillness of the Potomac. The hike back up that grade gets every time. We then backtracked down Matildaville until we got to the junction and proceeded along Old Carriage Road.
Once there, you can head back to the VC or go down my second favorite trail: Swamp Trail. This beautiful 0.4mi trail is luscious with its vivid greens. It's mostly dirt with rocks and roots to scale. You'll also see lovely ferns all around you and a fawn if you're lucky.
The whole loop ends up being 2.4 miles. Happy trails!
In health,
Lauren
