The first BLM designated NSHT segment in the east can be found in the recently acquired Douglas Point Special Recreation Management Area, part of the Nanjemoy Natural Resource Management Area, managed jointly by the BLM and the State of Maryland, Department of Natural Resources. The Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail (PHNST) BLM's segment is currently natural surface, loops through the 500 acre Douglas Point property, and is open to all non-motorized travel. The highlights of the trail are the colonial era Chiles homesite, as well as a spur trail to a small beach and beautiful Potomac river overlook at the north end of the property. This beach is also a designated as a water stop for the State of Maryland water trail component of the PHNST.
