Wooded Family-Friendly Parks Hiking Hospitals Military

The village of North Chevy Chase is a residential area consisting of tree-lined streets and large homes. Dating back to the 1600s, the area was originally part of Clean Drinking Manor, a large parcel of land named for its spring. You’ll see the spring – the one George Washington himself drank from – located off Susanna Lane near the Rock Creek Trail.

North Chevy Chase is wrapped by park land, starting with North Chevy Chase Local Park on the west side. This wooded, shady park features a playground and ball fields. To the north and east side of the village, park land follows Rock Creek and includes the Rock Creek Trail. This trail crosses the Georgetown Branch Trail for even more hiking opportunities. The Woodend Nature Sanctuary also provides walking trails.

This peaceful, family-friendly neighborhood doesn’t provide much in the way of shopping or restaurants. The closest shopping areas are located south of North Chevy Chase along Connecticut Avenue. North Chevy Chase is directly east of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health, making this the ideal location for anyone working or affiliated with these medical centers.
