Red Rock Wilderness Overlook Regional Park

Nice little, walk through the woods, overlook has a good view of the river. Part of the trail can be slippery when wet. Overlook has a fence to help prevent people from falling. I went in the morning and it was very peaceful.

20231105 Great workout!! It has been a long time since I came here. So happy I came back today.

This is my first time visiting this park. To my surprise, it is very clean. There is a small parking lot that will accommodate about 20 cars. There are ruins with description of each building. Very interesting and educational. The trails are dirt covered with many exposed roots, and very well mark - color code is marked on the trees. Along the water, there is a trail that is not part of the trail map. To get there, take the Green/White from the left side of the parking lot, with the road behind you. It is a short walk to the water, about 1/4 mile. Be careful when you walk downhill to the water, the trail slopes down with deep steps. Walking up to the trail from the water is a great workout... Up hill.

As I continue on the White/Green Trail, eventually, it parallels with the water, and there are 2 overlooks with fences along the cliff. Both provide a nice view of the river. To get to the overlooks, it is a steep downhill followed by an steep uphill hike. Great workout! I discovered that you don't need to back track from the overlooks back onto the trail. There is a trail at the top where the overlooks are that connects and continues you to the White/Green trail. So, when you get to the first overlook on your left, take the trail by the first of to the 2nd overlook on your left. It connects to the White/Green trail to continue on. When I reached the part of the trail that gave me a view of the Leesburg Water Treatment Plant, the trail was blocked by a fallen tree. I walked around to the right and climbed over another fallen tree to get around it. From there, the walk to the parking lot was a short one.

I will definitely return to this park again. Great workout on the White/Green trail. Recommend wear hiking shoes.

Beautiful easy hike though a bit of slippery spots on the rainy day I visited. The path is clearly heavily trafficked but was not so on my weekday visit. Beautiful flora and visits from many fauna! Lovely, large mulberry at the parking area and some interesting historical spots as well.

Really love this little park. It has great trails with lots to see including an area overlooking the Potomac River. It is gorgeous in the spring when wildflowers are in bloom! Great little hike for dogs as well. The trails are well maintained and there is plenty of parking. The old stone buildings near the parking lot make for great photography backdrops.

Even Driving through this area is Beautiful. Especially during the Fall.

An amazing view of the Potomac River awaits you at this overlook which is nested away in a wooded area full of oaks poplars and Papa's pretty similar to a whole lot of Virginia scenery. In the fall with a blue river in the background and yellowish foliage that you can start through this basically gets you to a hidden gem In the middle of a concrete jungle that has grown in present-day lease book. It's about a mile on a beautiful trail with nice ups and downs and plenty of groups to be aware of that lead you to this amazing view that you should not miss.

Beautiful during the fall! Had a good time until I got a cramp. I recommend for anyone who loves hiking! There are some very steep slopes.

Great place for a short walk, there are several steap spots so be cautious and know your limits. Also be aware that the mud by the river is like quick sand and very sticky and slippery

Great regional park for a few hours spent in nature. You can make it a 1 hour visit or a couple hours. Several trails to walk, as well as several great viewing locations for pure nature enjoyment or great selfie/couples/family photo ops. We headed there originally, thinkng we could rid eour bikes, but no such luck. We didnt see any trails to support walkers and bikes, or bike trials by themselves. Really gret aspot for taking my 2 teenage daiughters for an afternoon of enjoying nature.

It’s a relatively easy hike, unless you go down to the river side. That does have a little bit of a steep trail but I would highly recommend it. I have a number of health conditions like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis, and I was still able to make the trek easily. It’s definitely worth your time.

A quick 15 minute hike from the parking lot to the overlook. But lots of other trails in the area. Use a walking stick as some of the trails are steep and lots of loose rocks.

Had a great time walking here. We went during a rain storm and obviously the trails were deserted. Brought our two dogs along as well and had a good time. Hike is very simple even for beginners. But there are some steeper climbs near the overlook.

There are some downed trees toward the end of the loop that you need to maneuver over / under too. Nothing too strenuous though.

Great view of the Potomac!

Great hiking area with nice scenery. The trial it self has lots of ups and downs and a few steep up and down areas. Is roughly 1.5 - 2 miles long depending which way you hiking.

A truly beautiful place with quite a few trails that vary in difficulty, including one mostly flat dirt trail. Look out for the poison ivy, which is thankfully very easy to spot (massive vines!) and not on the trail pathway, but on the trees off the trail.

Love this park. Have been visiting it for 30 years and it is always a treat. The river is beautiful and the small parking area limits the number of people in the park to keep it peaceful.

Talk about a hidden gem! This park has some great trails, wondeful views of the Potomac, solitude, a feeling of being in a wilderness, and some great historical ruins!

Beautiful park, trail. Lots of trees and at the end is a lake. Highly recommend.

Lovely place for easy picturesque hike. Also has a few picnic tables near parking area.

Be sure to wear correct shoes or boots.
If you had pets be sure to bring water and treats for all.

Gorgeous view of the river and plenty of space for a picnic.
