Fountainhead Regional Park

Boat Launch

marina at fountainhead

Fountainhead Regional Park’s boat launch is an excellent entry point to explore the Occoquan Reservoir in nearly any kind of boat - including kayaks, canoes and jon boats, as well as gasoline powered boats launched from trailers (only boats with a 9.9 horsepower motor or less may launch from Fountainhead or Bull Run Marina). Those wishing to use the launch may purchase an annual pass, or pay daily fees based on the type of boat being launched. All vessels (including inflatables) must display a valid annual pass or pay the daily launch fee, for each vessel being launched.
