Locust Shade Park is a small gem of the Prince William County Parks and Recreation system and it has amenities to suit all ages. Besides the natural beauty and picturesque trails, the park has a fishing lake with marina, bank fishing, picnic tables and pavilions, tennis courts, miniature golf, batting cage, golf driving range and several playgrounds. Because of Covid-19, paddle boats and canoes are not available for rent nor is the amphitheater open. Five miles of relatively easy trails are available for hiking, dog walking or jogging. This park is a popular place for boy and girl scouts. A garden dedicated to a Girl Scout leader is near GRŌ, a natural science education center, is not open to the general public but available to school-age children to explore and interact in a natural setting. One of the trails leads to the Semper Fidelis Memorial Park, part of the National Museum of the Marine Corps complex.

Prince William County’s newest walking trail is the Neabsco Creek Boardwalk, a 10-foot wide elevated walkway. It is bordered on both sides by handrails. We visited here recently and truly enjoyed walking across the wetlands. Here you will see tall grasses and marsh fields, wildlife, birds, and fish. We saw a rather heavy beaver relaxing in the marshy area and saw him scoot away to his nearby home. While most of the people we saw, some with walking aids, were walkers there were a few bicyclists enjoying the area. The walkway is part of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail established by Congress in 1983. The boardwalk is near Julie A. Metz Wetlands Preserve, Rippon Lodge and Leesylvania Park. A parking lot on Blackburn Road is a short walk away from the Neabsco Creek Boardwalk.

You'll pay 5.00 to get in which is fine with me because I really love the park. There is fishing, hiking, gentle walking paths, boat and jet ski launches and a pier. Nice green areas with tables and BBQ grills. The trees go right up to the waters edge. There is a general store, rangers if you need them. Camping, guided tours, wildlife recognition with the tour guides. The largest population of bald eagles in the mid Atlantic. It's a small park, which fill to capacity on holidays. Go off season or during the week. You will love it.

Park that offers campsites and recreational programs for families and children.
Reviewed By Hatzlacha - Virginia, United States
I was really impressed by how much you can do outdoors here in a relatively small area. We visited on a weekend and were greeted with lots of bicycle riders parking at the entrance / visitor center area. There's a quick path there to hike which isn't so strenuous, but is a little crowded. If you head towards the back of the park there are far less people and thus more time in nature for longer, slightly harder hikes. Lots of dedicated camping sites as well with (what looked from a distance) as great accessory facilities, making this a good test ground for new campers or just an escape for city folks. Great place for many return visits!

The Refuge has been a great place to visit during COVID-19. Walking on the trails, listening to the birds, and feeling the wind, one doesn't have to worry about bringing hand sanitizer, face shields or "social distancing." If you come within 6 feet of a person, it's because you brought them with you. It's a perfect place to feel close to nature, and temporarily remove oneself from the stress of what our world has become due to the pandemic. Another plus, visiting the Refuge is free.
