The Mount Vernon Trail is an 18-mile paved path connecting George Washington's Mount Vernon to Theodore Roosevelt Island, linking Fairfax County, Alexandria, Arlington County, and Washington, D.C. It offers great views of the Potomac River and the Washington, D.C. skyline on a smooth, paved path. Popular for both recreation and commuting, the trail sees over one million users annually. Parking is available at most trailheads, and it is also accessible via nearby Metro stations. Please be aware that that motorized vehicles, including e-bikes and scooters, are not permitted, but motorized wheelchairs are allowed.
