Are you looking for a trail that is nice but short? Well, then this is the trail for you. It goes from Wakefield park all the way down to the lake, and is mostly wooded. Be careful in the fall when the leaves start to fall, as they get on to the trail and make riding difficult. Great trail for the Arlington, VA / Fairfax area for its fall colors.
Access Info
The trail starts in Wakefield park and continues under the bridge.
