We visited with our two dogs. The ranger explained that while the dogs could only go on 50% of the property. they could become b.a.r.k Rangers. They got tags to wear as bark Rangers. I thought this was such a cute idea! The ranger was friendly and informative as well. We ended our visit with a beautiful walk on the Potomac beach.
