Fountainhead Regional Park is located at the widest point of the Occoquan Reservoir and provides a quiet spot to enjoy the beauty of nature by water or land. Fishing is available from a floating dock or rental canoes and jon boats. A bait and tackle shop is located in the marina building. The park is the site of the trailhead for the 17.5-mile Bull Run-Occoquan Trail, enjoyed by hikers and equestrians, as well as a separate mountain bike trail.
