Beautiful and easy access off the trail
Great hiking trail--dog friendly!!
Love this place. Has a great 2km walk that can be either on a paved path or you can wander the forest trail along the river. It also looks so different with the seasonal changes. There are deer, lots of birds and squirrels. It runs parallel to the main trail which is busier with runners and cycles.
If you want a quieter walk in nature and the ability to interact with the waterway all the way down then take this slight detour.

Incredibly disappointing, mostly because of lack of access. This review is for Little Falls Stream Valley Park; I did not visit the northern and western portions that gradually turn into Westmoreland and Norwood Parks. I chose this specific location to see the 5th DC Boundary Stone; google maps indicates trails lead into the general vicinity. However, everything east of the Capital Crescent Trail is fenced off by the city of DC to prevent access to the Dalecarlia Reservoir (which is one of three drinking water sources used by the district). While the fencing is likely viewed as protecting the water source, the result is a rather ugly walk on a paved trail that has 8 foot barbed wire fencing blocking off significant portions (I'd guess about 140+ acres) of green space, including making the boundary stone inaccessible. The fencing runs in a complete circle along Dalecarlia Parkway and makes this feel like a private park that only employees of D.C. water treatment facilities can access. I suggest capping the reservoir to both improve the water quality and allowing the fence to be removed and provide general access to the park. I would not return and would not recommend it. See photos for what to expect.
Nice walking path and good biking paths. We had to park at lot and then walk on the road in order to find a path opening. There may be an easier way to get in the park.
Really hard to find any park at all. We kept runing around looking for entrance. Google guides wrongly about this place
BORDERLINE POST.
Before my scheduled escort to see the two boundary stones located within the Delecarlia Water Treatment Plant, I noticed an obscure borderline marker, that distinguishes the District of Columbia and Maryland line, which runs through the grounds of the Plant.
This marker is strategically placed behind the east side guard rail of MacArthur Boulevard NW.

This place is very quiet and relaxing. I enjoyed playing basketball at the park and also rode my bike around this area from Chevy Chase. The park is open to the public for both children and adults.
