A small river flows through the park, which is also a nature reserve. Beautiful nature, many hiking and cycling trails meander through the valley.

I suppose this little creek is to thank for the existence of the nearby Rock Creek Park and Piney Branch Parkway. Eventually Rock Creek flows into the Potomac River, but for now it is a calm, flowing breath of nature cutting straight into the northern part of Washington D.C. You'll find lots of pretty forested trails in the park, usually meandering close to the creek.
