The Mount Vernon Trail is an 18-mile long paved recreation trail located just across the river from Downtown Washington D.C. It offers stunning views of the Potomac River and DC monuments, and passes through notable points of interest such as George Washington's Estate at Mount Vernon, Olde Town Alexandria, Arlington National Cemetery, and Gravelly Point.
Cyclists particularly enjoy this trail, which is mostly flat with occasional rolling hills, and it provides a convenient connection to other trails in the area, such as the Custis Trail and the W OD Trail. With several Metrorail stations nearby, including Rosslyn, Arlington Cemetery, Reagan National Airport, and Braddock Road, the trail offers easy access and the option to shorten the journey if needed.
