The Mount Vernon Trail is an 18-mile scenic path in Virginia that runs along the Potomac River, connecting Gateway Park in Rosslyn to George Washington’s Mount Vernon old estate. The trail has great views of the Washington D.C. monuments, the Kennedy Center, and passes through parks, wetlands, and historic sites like Old Town Alexandria. Popular for biking, walking, and running, it also links with other regional trails, including the Custis, Four Mile Run, and Woodrow Wilson Bridge Trails. Developed by the National Park Service with local volunteers, it now attracts approximately a million users annually.
