The Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Regional Park is a linear park 100 feet wide and 45 miles long built on the old roadbed of the former W&OD Railroad. It provides citizens and visitors a wide, multi-use trail reaching through the urban heartland of Northern Virginia from the Potomac River to the Blue Ridge Mountains
The park begins at Shirlington Road in Arlington and runs westward into Loudoun County. West of Vienna, a separate bridle trail constructed with crushed stone parallels the paved hiking/biking trail to the Town of Purcelville, a total of 33 miles.
A connector trail links the W&OD Trail with City of Fairfax trails and the Fairfax County trail system.
