At the end of Riverwatch Drive, tucked in the back of the neighborhood, are about 6 parking spots next to the entrance of the Indian Head Boardwalk. My family and I came here a few years ago and decided to revisit.
This boardwalk stands high on top of a 10-acre wooded area owned by the Town of Indian Head. Part of the Boardwalk goes through trees and the rest along the water. We enjoyed seeing birds of prey flying overhead.
Half of the boardwalk goes along the Potomac River, where you have a nice view of the coast and can see Virginia on the other side
The boardwalk is about 2,400 feet; equaling about a half mile. So round trip you should get about a mile of walking in. Important note: there are no exits off the boardwalk once you are on it. There’s one way on, then off.
Though it’s only a mile and not considered a hike, I did more walking that day on my own but cherish any moment I can enjoy with my family.
