Route and access notes

A long north-to-south trail across Fairfax County, Virginia, linking Great Falls with the Occoquan area through stream valleys, parks and neighbourhood connections.

Planning this route

The refreshed connected geometry is 62.9 km. Fairfax County lists the full Cross County Trail at 41.5 miles; local construction and signed detours can change the usable line, so follow current park notices rather than treating the mapped line as a field inspection.

Access and source limitations

Fairfax County parks are generally open from sunrise to sunset and prohibit motor vehicles on trails. The county currently reports a Pohick Stream Valley closure between Cliff Forest Drive and Wadebrook Terrace with a marked detour for interceptor rehabilitation.
