Park Trails

If you live in Fairfax County, there’s a good chance there’s a nature trail close to your backyard. Let the Park Authority’s Trail Buddy mapping tool be your guide. Visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/trails.

The Cross County Trail

Extending from Lorton in the south to Great Falls in the north, the 40-mile Gerry Connolly Cross County Trail runs through the heart of Fairfax County. The trail offers recreation, exercise, opportunities for contact with nature and history, and the “green” option of walking or biking instead of driving to work, to shopping centers or to Metro stations.
