Hemlock Overlook Regional Park
Hemlock Overlook Regional Park is a small multi-use park near Clifton, Virginia which also doubles as an Outdoor Education Center operated by Adventure Links. The facility offers a popular rope course for schools and other groups, focusing on team development. The rest of the park offers hilly woodlands and floodplain scenery and is a good place for hiking, horse riding and canoeing on the Bull Run river.
==Park==
Hemlock Overlook is one of several parks lining Bull Run. Like the others, it’s forested and full of hilly scenery. It covers only 400 acres and lacks such amenities as campgrounds and picnic areas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rei.com/guidepost/detail/virginia/hiking/hemlock-overlook-regional-park/37636 )〕 Hemlock Overlook is named after the grove of hemlock trees above the banks of the Bull Run in the northern section of the park.
At the northern edge of the park is the site of the Union Mills and the bridge crossing for the Orange and Alexandria Railroad over the Bull Run; both of these sites have high significance in the Battles of Bull Run. The site of a dam that supported the first hydroelectric power generation to Fairfax County is also on the Hemlock Overlook site.
A permanent orienteering course, built with the support of Quantico Orienteering Club, remains in the southern end of the park, below Yates Ford Road and Yates Ford Trail. The Bull Run-Occoquan Trail (blue trail) is maintained by the PATC. Both the Occoquan Watershed Coalition and the Hemlock Overlook Regional Park Task Force, HOTFORCE, are stakeholders working with the NVRPA to integrate the Park and its activities into the overall community setting in the area.
