At the time of George Washington, when his home on Mount Vernon was established, the view across the Potomac River to the east was one of the most cherished part of the location. Our first president wanted to make sure those breathtaking views in the open country across the river were always intact and preserved for future generations. Today, the region of Maryland that captured the heart of early leaders remains just as breathtaking as it did in George Washington’s time. The view from Mount Vernon across the Potomac has now become Piscataway Park, thanks to cooperation and efforts spear headed by the Accokeek Foundation. The Park became part of the National Park Service when it was established in 1961. Piscataway Park since then embraces about 5,000 acres and covers about 6 miles astride the Potomac River. It’s a place of enormous natural beauty and habitat for innumerable flora and fauna. It provides scenic enjoyment for nature lovers of all types living or visiting in the area with not only panoramic views, but also with boardwalks for walking, site seeing and a pier for fishing in the park.
Piscataway Park, appears dappled with woodlands, meadows, wetlands and nature trails between Piscataway Creek and Marshall Hall against the Potomac. It hosts incomparable bird watching opportunities for bald eagles, osprey, as well as frequent opportunities for siting beaver, deer, fox to name just some of the wild neighbors embraced by the parkland.
