The Beach Trail is a .4 mile short, moderate difficulty hiking trail that connects the pool area to the main cabin area and beach access road. From the pool area the trail climbs a steep, 100 foot wooden stairway that rewards the hiker with panoramic views of the Potomac River. At the stairway midpoint are benches for weary climbers. At the top of the stairs the trail levels out as it passes through the wooded area before several shorter sets of stairs bring hikers to the paved beach access road close to the cabins.
