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 recently completed the build of an advanced 1.2 mile trail extension. In addition, MORE volunteers are in the process of building and finishing a 1.1 mile beginner trails that will replace multiple fall line sections of trail.
