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. The County has approved MORE’s new trail alignment and is poised to begin construction on a stacked trail system suitable for users of all abilities.

Locust Shade will provide an anchor for the Potomac Heritage Trail and provide 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).

Funding will provide necessary materials for multiple bridges and for the necessary expertise to build the desired trail system.
