On rainy days the Potomac River over flows and feeds smaller rivers beside it as it overflows with small spectacular waterfalls. Day trip into north Bethesda into Seven Locks Park. A park easily accessible for the public to enjoy a short wonderful walk seeing a preserve with bridges viewing waterways fed from the original Potomac River. This Day trip is only 15 minutes from current home location.

During your leisure stroll around the bridges over several small waterfalls you will enter a Nature Preserve. A fragile eco system exists and is protected by a specific wooden planked walk way that leads to a Look Out to the original Potomac River. A picture from my photo library showing the ecosystem sign posted next to walkway. Quite a treat and I will have a visitor from Modesto California. This will be one of many other Day Trips in Maryland while they enjoy getting to know our area the week they are here.
