The Washington and Old Dominion Trail, known as the W&OD Trail, is a 45-mile multi-use trail for walkers, runners, skaters, and cyclists. A 32-mile adjacent gravel and dirt trail is provided for equestrians. Motorized vehicles are not allowed on either trail.

   Owned and operated by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, the W&OD Trail is built on the roadbed of the former Washington & Old Dominion Railroad.

   The Washington and Old Dominion Trail runs from the urban city of Shirlington to rural Purcellville. The 32-mile equestrian trail runs from Vienna west to Purcellville. Take heed that the bridle path and the multi-use paved trail occasionally intersect or merge. Plus both the multi-use and the equine trails cross high-speed roads used by vehicle traffic.
