From the site of an old railroad in Ashburn, the Washington and Old Dominion Trail now gives you a whole new way to move. This 45-mile trail actually takes you through three counties and many towns in the area. It’s perfect for runners, bikers, skaters, or those wanting to take a leisurely stroll. There’s also a gravel path for horseback riders, but be prepared: This is a very popular spot for families on the weekends.
To ensure safety, the parks department offers a list of guidelines, such as having the right equipment, respecting others on the trail, and carrying a map of the entire trail. Knowing the guidelines can only make your experience more enjoyable.
Washington and Old Dominion Trail is open year-round, from dawn to dusk.
