LOCUST SHADE PARK

Triangle, VA

Locust Shade

Locust Shade is a small county park with diverse terrain situated along Prince William County’s Southern portion of the Potomac Heritage Trail Corridor. With county approval, MORE completed the build of two advanced mountain bike trails, The Col Du Shade and 95th Street, and a dedicated jump line along the power lines.

Locust Shade provides an anchor for the Potomac Heritage Trail and helps with connectivity to other nearby popular trail systems, including those aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico (Quantico MTB Club) and the trails in Prince William Forest Park (NPS).

Overall there are nearly 7 miles of trails at Locust Shade, 5 of which are multi-use.

Please use the Donate Now Form on this page to help us continue to improve this little gem in Prince Wiliam County, VA.

The Locust Shade team is activley rasing funds to build an extension to 95th St. and to create a realignment along the Col Du Shade. MORE's Team of Trail Liaisons have submitted a comprehensive proposal to Prince William COunty to make this happen. Approval is pending.
