The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors approved the Linear Parks and Trails (LPAT) Plan in July 2021. The trail system will ultimately provide an interconnected, countywide linear parks and trails system. The LPAT plan offers a roadmap for the county and its partners to build out an interconnected system that protects natural and cultural resources, honors Loudoun County’s unique sense of place, and connects residents to each other and to the county’s natural and cultural landscapes, communities, and destinations. The plan seeks to provide multiuse experiences along its corridors for hikers, walkers, nature enthusiasts, runners, equestrians, cyclists, and canoe and kayak paddlers.
The comprehensive trails system will provide a variety of functions and benefits, including recreation, alternative transportation, wildlife habitat, water quality protection, flood hazard reduction, aquifer recharge, erosion prevention, property value enhancement, economic development, and scenic beauty. The braided trail network will link established routes throughout the county including the Washington and Old Dominion Trail and the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail
