Pohick Bay Regional Park

Pohick Bay is a water-oriented park 25 miles south of the nation's capital. The park occupies a spectacular bayside setting on the historic Mason Neck peninsula in Fairfax County. In early times, George Washington visited the area frequently. The area was also a hotbed of Civil War activity which is commemorated by a historic marker in the park.

Today the park features an 18-hole golf course, camping, an outdoor swimming pool, sailboat, pedal boat, canoe and sea kayak rentals, boating and fishing, miniature and Frisbee golf, four miles of bridle paths, nature trails and much more. Guided canoe and kayak trips may be arranged.
