Did you know Friendship Heights is home to hidden streams and green spaces? Join the Little Falls Watershed Alliance and the Friendship Heights Alliance for a guided stream tour along the Little Falls Branch to explore the area’s natural history and Friendship Heights’ waterways.
This gentle walk will highlight the past, present, and future of local streams, with insights from environmental advocates and historians. Along the way, we’ll stop for reflections and photos to capture these hidden spaces. The route is suitable for beginners with relatively flat trails, but be sure to wear sturdy, mud-friendly shoes or boots as we will be crossing a stream.
We will hike from the Willard Avenue Neighborhood Park upstream along the creek to Wisconsin Avenue. Participants can choose to return by back tracking or to travel up Wisconsin Avenue to Willard and return to the park via the street. The total one way trip is about a mile and a quarter on hard and soft trails. There are two creek crossings, but hikers can choose to leave the hike at Page Park if they are not comfortable with stepping stones.
