From its source southwest of the Gulf Branch Nature Center, Gulf Branch flows on a northeastern course and empties into the Potomac River within the Federal parklands of the George Washington Memorial Parkway. Gulf Branch is surrounded predominantly by forests.
A small climbing area with roughly 15 climbs is located at the mouth of the stream, where Gulf Branch feeds into the Potomac, near the Potomac Palisades
