Great Falls Park
Public Transportation
 

Great Falls Park is not located on any public transportation routes.  There is no access to public transportation from the park by foot or bicycle.

The closest Metro stations to the park are Dunn Loring and West Falls Church, on the Orange Line.  Both stations are located seven to ten miles away from the park.  To get to the park from Metro, it will be necessary to take a cab.

The park is close to two major airports.  Dulles International is sixteen miles from the park.  Reagan International, which does have Metro access, is located twenty miles from the park.  Cab service is available from both locations. 

The closest major train station is located in Washington D.C.  Union Station has Metro access, and trains also run to BWI International Airport, near Baltimore.  It is possible to take Metro from Union Station to West Falls Church, and then to take a cab the rest of the way to the park.

Ice in the Potomac and Falls  

Did You Know?
Water temperatures in the Potomac can drop to freezing and ice will form along the banks. However, the water is moving too quickly through the Great Falls to completely freeze over.
