Holmes Run Trail

Tunnel under 395 finally re-open in April 2026!

May, 2026 by akbald01

This trail from Eisenhower is great and the tunnel under 395 is finally clean and reopened when I ran a longer out/back last month!

Capital Crescent Trail

good trail

April, 2026 by aldo_desalvo

The part in the city is pretty boring. You get a nice tunnel and an old rail bridge. The surface is paved and has a few root issues. Most of the path is shaded. 5 stars

Ashland Trolley Line

This trail is now part of the paved Fall Line Trail.

April, 2026 by megr_tl

Enjoyed this trail tonight. It is now fully paved and incorporated into the Fall Line Trail (see current review for that). It was a pleasure to bike!

Fall Line Trail

Gem of a trail (Part 2)

April, 2026 by megr_tl

falllinetrail.org shows the future plans for expansion, some under or to be under construction soon, and eventually to go through Richmond. When we reached the current end of the trail, there were options to take a left or right and follow existing side paths. We got an extra mile each way (and could have done more) for a 12-mile ride. The short Trolley Trail has been incorporated into this trail, and while riding, it wasn’t obvious exactly which part it was. A quality job has been done with this trail so far: marked road crossings, mileage signs for each .5 miles, stop signs at intersections, and more.

Fall Line Trail

Enjoyed this continuing to develop gem tonight!

April, 2026 by megr_tl

Saw this trail on TrailLink and further investigated it at falllinetrail.org and stopped to ride it as we traveled along I-95. We parked by the Northern End of the paved trail in the parking lot for Carter Park and rode it to its current end. It is listed here at 4.8 miles, but both of our bike computers, which match a measured mile, read 5 miles one way. While there are a number of stops for crossroads, we were able to maintain a nice speed on it. There were many bikers and walkers, so I imagine it could get quite busy on the weekends. It is relatively flat, but there are some gentle hills as it goes through wetlands, forests, and fields. The website I mentioned shows planned development, some of it ready for gconstruction. Soon

Arlington Loop

April, 2026 by dillon.marshall1999

Mount Vernon Trail

Easter weekend 2026. Saturday

April, 2026 by amy2paul

My husband, our two adult sons & I rode the trail yesterday. We hopped on at Unlimited Biking where we rented a bike for one son. Highly recommended. Employee was polite & had everything all re when we arrived. You can access the trail right there. We first rode north to Reagan Airport to watch the planes. That section was very busy! Lots of walker, dogs & bikes so be careful. Then we turned back south & had lunch before getting back on to ride to the end at George & Martha’s place. Much less crowded. Nice ride!

Vesper Trail

An urban trail that is undergoing improvements

February, 2026 by funoka

This short trail is over a creek that separates Tysons office and retail developments from residential areas. There are various side trails not on this map along the creek as well. The area is dubbed “Tysons Last Forest” by neighbors who fought to preserve the area from development prior to its opening in 2019.
