Join our rangers on a guided hike and learn about our native species, park history, and wetland habitat. Meet at the Visitor Center before the hike. Long Pond trail is an approximately 1-mile-long loop trail that goes by both Long Pond and Aquia Creek. Holly Marsh is about 2 miles long and is an out and back trail that goes to the Potomac River. Both trails are moderate in difficulty.
