Pack the Ford and Explore These 3 Great Outdoor Activities Near Woodbridge, VA

When the weather gets nicer around spring and summer in Woodbridge, we can’t wait for the weekend or for our days off! There is so much natural beauty in the area, and we love to go experience it with our friends and family. But if you’re not sure of what’s available, you might be missing out! To help, we’ve made a list of our favorite outdoor activities in Woodbridge, VA. Check them out!

1. Spend a Day on the Water at Potomac Boat Rentals

One of the natural beauties by Woodbridge is the Potomac River, and if you live in the area or are visiting, you need to stop by! The water is cool and refreshing, and nothing beats an afternoon floating and bobbing in the waves! To best experience the Potomac, you’ll need a boat. And one of the best places to rent one is Potomac Boat Rentals.

Potomac Boat Rentals have a wide variety of watercraft available to rent, whether by the day or by the half-day. They have pontoon boats that you can use to cruise down the river, and they also have canoes and kayaks for those who want to get some exercise! Whatever your style, they’ll take care of you.

2. Go Deep into Nature on the Quantico Cascades Trail

If you’d rather keep your legs over land, then the Quantico Cascades Trail might just be for you. The trail is short and easy, extending just short of a mile. This makes it an excellent option for a short afternoon outing or for those who are just getting started with their hiking experience.

But just because the trail is short doesn’t mean that there’s nothing to see, to the contrary! On your hike you’ll meander through open forests and pass by creeks with fallen logs that serve as a habitat to many of the region’s local wildlife. If you get to the end of the hike and want more, then explore the North Valley Trail, which connects to it!

3. Have a Picnic at Veterans’ Memorial Park

Located just next to Marumsco Creek, Veterans’ Memorial Park is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. There is a skate park, basketball courts, horseshoe pits, volleyball nets, and much more that you and your family can enjoy on your visit. But what we especially love is packing up our favorite snacks and snagging a picnic table to enjoy a meal while we soak up the warm sunshine. On the weekends it might be busy!

After going out and having a great time, enjoy the cool air of the 2022 Ford Escape’s dual-zone climate control. Come test drive one today at Koons Woodbridge Ford!
