Eight miles of trails winding through the woods connect each house lot to the lakes, streams, stables, tennis courts, canoe landings and river overlooks with breathtaking views of the Potomac.

With a canoe launch reserved for Merry-Go-Round residents, canoeing along the C & O Canal is easy and relaxing. The adventurous can paddle the Potomac, where fishing spots for bass, perch and catfish await.

For Merry-Go-Round Farm owners horseback riding has been a favorite pastime for more than 50 years. With all-weather and indoor riding rings, miles of trails, dozens of cross-country jumps and 50 acres of pasture, Merry-Go-Round Farm is the ideal location for families who enjoy horses but prefer to live within the metropolitan area.

Two lighted tennis courts are located along Luvie Lane. An exercise room is in the Polo Barn nearby.
