River-bluff park with a historic stone manor, formal gardens, winding trails and panoramic Potomac River views — ideal for sunrise/sunset vistas, autumn color, long exposures of the river and intimate architectural details. Open daylight hours; small parking lot at 3452 Ferry Pl, walkable trails; no gate fee but check conservancy events/closures. Best light: golden hour and blue hour; weekdays bring fewer visitors. Seasonal wildflowers and migrating waterfowl add variety.
