W&OD Trail

Spanning 45 miles, this paved trail runs from Shirlington to Purcellville on the former Washington & Old Dominion Railroad route. As the longest path in NoVA, the W&OD Trail stretches both heavily populated urban areas and pastoral rolling hills. Walkers, runners, bicyclists and skaters are encouraged to take advantage of this 504-acre trail year-round. –EC / nvrpa.org/park/w_od_railroad
