Occoquan Watertrail

Occoquan Water Trail, kayaks

Tracing a 40-mile route on two tributary waterways of the Chesapeake Bay, paddling adventures await as you explore a vast and changing landscape, spanning 13,000 years of human history, past 10,000 acres of public lands dedicated to resource conservation in northern Virginia.

Interpretive exhibits located at eight access points present a tapestry of time and place — past,  present and future — each reveals a different facet of an extraordinary resource. Access with public parking can be found at Occoquan, Fountainhead, Bull Run Marina, Pohick Bay and Bull Run.
