Known forbirdingNPSNorthwest DCwoodland
A long, narrow forested valley running nearly three miles through upper Northwest DC, beloved by local hikers and birdwatchers as one of the city's best birding corridors. The trail follows a small stream through dense canopy and feels surprisingly wild. It connects to Battery Kemble Park and the Capital Crescent Trail, making it great for longer outings. Trail surfaces are natural and uneven — not suitable for strollers or wheelchairs.
