Birding Sweet Run

Sweet Run State Park has 894 acres of diverse habitat consisting of vernal pools, meadows, ponds, streams, and a rich oak-hickory forest in northwestern Loudoun. Not only does it border the Appalachian Trail, it is only a couple of miles from the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. It is a wonderful sanctuary for wildlife with numerous bird species using the rich habitat. Meet at the main parking lot near the Interpretive Center; bring binoculars if you have them. The park is located just north of Neersville at 11661 Harpers Ferry Road (Rte 671); see map below. Registration required.

Fee Notice: Sweet Run begins collecting parking fees on May 6 via self-pay kiosks located at each parking area/entrance. The fee for a standard vehicle is $10. View fee information.
