Scotts Run Waterfall is a beautiful hike to a small waterfall on the Potomac and great creeks to splash in. Be aware that this is for more advanced hikers (not babies or toddlers) and it can get slick on the rocks. Be safe and read the rules about the park and the waterfall as there have been rescues on the rocks.
