Why It Works

Though it traverses a heavily-developed suburb for much of its distance, this trail is often surrounded by trees, marshes, parks and other pleasant natural settings. Popular with kids, skaters, rollerbladers, bikers, dogwalkers, the scooter set and just about everyone else who lives nearby. It links up with other trails, including the Custis Trail that heads toward Washington, DC, making it even more useful.
