Beautiful Scott’s Run Nature Preserve is steps away
Follow the creek behind Green Oak on the Potomac to Scott’s Run Nature Preserve
Green Oak on the Potomac is set on an idyllic spot by the river. You can follow the creek that runs through your back yard to nearby Scott’s Run Nature Preserve, which is described as “one of the rarest biological ecosystems in the mid-Atlantic… a remarkable place of rare plants and splendid beauty… Trailing arbutus, Virginia bluebells and sessile trillium bloom on steep hillsides and create a small oasis of rare, fragile plants. Remarkable and rare species grow along precipitous cliffs, in steep valleys, and throughout a mature, hardwood forest that is comprised of large oak and beech trees, ancient hemlock and wild cherry trees that stand as tall as the oaks. A grove of ancient hemlocks, whose ancestors migrated here during the last ice age, stands in the nature preserve as a reminder that this region once had a subarctic climate.”
