The Herons

Kincora is home to approximately 55 heron nests, making it the largest, and expanding, great blue heron rookery along Rt. 28. Great blue herons nest in colonies and live high off the ground so their young will be a less likely prey for other species. They also nest close to a food source, like the Potomac River.

Trails

There are sights to be seen from every corner of Kincora. Stroll along the streaming water of Broad Run or enjoy a walk near the beautiful Heron rookery. Our winding trail system is the best way to take in all this incredible location has to offer.

Broad Run

The scenic Broad Run, which runs through Kincora, is a tributary of the Potomac River. The creek flows eastward near Arcola and continues northeast to its mouth at the Potomac near the southern end of Seldon Island.
