About Hemlock Overlook Regional Park

Hemlock Overlook is a regional park near Clifton with walking and equestrian trails running through older woodland along the Bull Run. Visitors can walk beneath very old trees, and a national old-growth forest network has added the park as an important site. The park also hosts an outdoor learning partnership with Endless Horizons, which runs programs there and takes bookings through its own contacts. Restrooms and buildings are closed to the public, and visitors must carry out their own trash.
