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 recently completed the build of an advanced 1. 2 mile trail extension. In addition, the County has recently approved MORE’s new beginner and intermediate trail alignments and is poised to begin construction on the new trails as early as mid July, 2020.

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, please use the Donate Now Form on this page to help us make these trails become a reality.
