Take a ‘Field Trip’ to White’s Ferry!

If you live in Montgomery County, MD or Leesburg, VA and the surrounding areas-

it’s an easy trip!

White’s Ferry is a ferry service offering transportation across the Potomac river between Maryland and Virginia.  It’s located just north of Leesburg on the Virginia side and about 6 miles west of Poolesville on the Maryland side.

 Vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists are welcome.  The fare for cars is $4 for one way and $7 for a roundtrip crossing.  

They also have an old country store that serves lunch,  and picnic tables!

NOW THE IMPORTANT PART:

This is a fun little trip for kids…  My son had never been on a ferry before, so he loved it.

BUT, it lasts for about 4 or 5 minutes,

and goes very slow,

SO OLDER KIDS may not think it’s that cool of a ‘field trip’…

If you live close- do it;

If you don’t live close, BUT have LITTLE kids,

still do it.

The drive is nice, Historic Leesburg is nice too,

(and the Leesburg outlets are right there too).

ONE OTHER COOL THING:  You pass Homestead Farm in Poolesville, coming from Montgomery County,

Yes, the Homestead Farm of Pumpkin Patch fame,

only now- you can stop in and pick your own Peaches and Blueberries,

And you know how much I love Blueberries!
