Situated in picturesque Great Falls, VA, Holly Knoll Park is an oasis of tranquil natural beauty and recreational activities for residents and visitors alike. Featuring looping trails, lush greenery, and several recreational facilities, there\u2019s something for everyone at Holly Knoll Park. Holly Knoll Park was established in 1979 by the Fairfax County Park Authority and spanned over 177 acres of land and woodlands. The park has three separate trails; a 1.09-mile main loop trail, a 1.7-mile educational loop trail, and a 0.2-mile nature trail.
