Visit Occoquan
Occoquan Historic District is a compact riverside village of brick storefronts, wooden boardwalks, arched bridge views and small boats—ideal for intimate streetscapes, reflections on the Occoquan River, and detail shots of artisan shops. Best light is golden hour (sunrise for east-facing river reflections; sunset warms brick facades). Weekday mornings are quieter; convenient municipal parking and short walking distances make gear easy to carry. Accessible paths along the river; no entry fees. In
