Washington and Old Dominion Regional Park

The Washington and Old Dominion Regional Park has been called "the skinniest park in Virginia" — it's primarily a 100 foot wide, 45 mile long trail for walkers, joggers, and cyclists. This multi-use trail stretches all the way from Ashburn to Purcellville, Virginia, sitting on the roadbed of an historic old rail line once used to transport troops and supplies during the Civil War. Now a park, the Washington and Old Dominion Regional Park makes it easy to exercise in a safe environment that's largely free of the hustle and bustle of car traffic. Here you can ride or run in a natural environment with varied scenery, flora, and fauna. Occasionally, the trail is punctuated by towns and other spots, making it easy to stop and grab a quick drink or a bite to eat. Primarily frequented by cyclists, joggers, and runners, the trail can have a fast-paced feel at times, making the pace a little too quick for younger kids. Fortunately, families can enjoy an adjacent 32 mile long unpaved trail that's perfect for a more leisurely stroll. Runners, joggers, cyclists, and people who just love the outdoors in BLVD l Loudoun Station will be pleased with a visit to the Washington and Old Dominion Regional Park.
