Greenbelt Park Ranger Station
Address: 6565 Greenbelt Road, Greenbelt, MD 20770
Greenbelt Park is a forested escape just ten miles from downtown Washington, DC, part of the New Deal planned community of Greenbelt built in the 1930s. Its quiet woods hold miles of trails and the closest public campground to the capital.
Camp under the pines, walk the nature trails, and join ranger programs in season. For a challenge, link the park's trails into a full circuit of the forest, a surprisingly wild workout inside the Beltway.
