The Donaldson Run Trail starts at the parking of Potomac Overlook Regional Park in Arlington. In dry seasons, this creek carries little water, but the many fallen trees in the creek bed show the violence of the water after heavy rain. High above the creek crosses the George Washington Memory Parkway, a highway operated by the US National Park Service.
