The Difficult Run Trail follows the Difficult Run stream, a tributary of the Potomac River. The trail involves walking on mostly flat terrain with some steep uphill areas offering scenic views of the stream valley.
This is a 5 mile circuit hike that is great for children 8+ years old. This hike provides some great views of the Potomac River and hiking along the rapid Difficult Run stream. There is a great hang out spot where Difficult Run enters the Potomac River.
