Greenbelt National Park is situated near the Capital Beltway and was designed to be a greenbelt for the area. The park was formed in 1950 and features numerous hiking, cycling, and equestrian trails. Most of these trails wind around thick forests and fragrant azalea bushes during the spring. You’ll also find a large campground and ranger-led programs which include walking tours describing local scenery as well as ones that highlight local myths, such as “The Goatman”. Wildlife is abundant here and the park is a favorite habitat for deer and chipmunks.
