The Washington and Old Dominion Trail is a linear park that stretches alongside the Potomac River near Washington, D.C., to the Blue Ridge Mountains in Purcellville. Its name is derived from the Washington and Old Dominion Railroad, which stopped operating in 1968. NOVA Parks manages this 45-mile asphalt trail that provides open space for cycling, running, and walking. Parallel to the asphalt trail is a 30.5-mile gravel trail for horseback riding and hiking. Travelers along the W&OD Trail may wish to stop along the way at the many historic Virginia towns and cities the trail crosses, including Ashburn, Herndon, Leesburg, Reston, Shirlington, and Vienna.
