Complete information about visiting Piscataway Park is now on National Park Planner!
Piscataway Park is located about ten miles south of Alexandria, Virginia, on the Maryland side of the Potomac River. The park covers around 4500 acres, but very little of this is developed for tourists, with two-thirds still in private hands. The main attraction is the National Colonial Farm, a farm still run as if it were 1770. This is located in the central area of the park. In addition to cultivated fields and farm animals are six short hiking trails, a fishing pier, and a boat dock for those arriving to the park by boat. Another short trail lies just east of the farm.
The only other places of interest to the public are the Marshall Hall area on the western side of the park, where you will find a boat ramp and a historic mansion ruin, and Farmington Landing on the eastern side, a popular fishing hole and canoe launch area. A fourth section is detached from the main park property and located across Piscataway Creek near Fort Washington Park (also a National Park unit). This section hosts the Fort Washington Marina and a short hiking trail.
