Review: Lake Fairfax is a nice little park in a great location that is slowly turning into a decent MTB destination. There is a lot of on-going work here, and trails have been dramatically improved in the last 2-3 years. There are some flowy sections, a few stream crossings and tough (double-track) climbs/descents, plus a couple rock gardens. The signs also indicate that there may be a pump-track in the future, but that seems optimistic.

While it's not the best trail in the DC area, it is a great local spot worth riding if you're in the area.

Review: Pretty fun trail. Short. Not worth the trip to ride it alone. I recommend riding all of the trails here, then heading east to tack on Colvin Run and Difficult Run. You can end up with a really long ride if you continue down Difficult Run.

Review: Great ride. Heavy traffic at times. Either selfishness or ignorance of trail erosion is getting annoying. Please don't ride wet trails.

Review: Really awesome trails! Recently it has been changed to a more mountain bike friendly park with new/or modified mtb specific trails, jumps and berms. Not too difficult but a fun ride with some challenges. Leads into the Cross County trail and difficult run trail. Defiantly recommended it to anyone beginner and advance alike.

Review: really fun trail. has some fun technical downhills and some uphills. fun to pick out lines. can get crowded at times and people going in every which direction with multiple trails people go on. i start at skate quest in reston and go past lake fairafax and then hop on the difficult run trail and get off at the w&od.

Review: Ok, my buddy and I today took a start on Difficult Run, made our way to Colvin Run, and I then ended up at this trail. There are lots of roots, some climbs, crazy downhills that are fast, fun, and a little bit dangerous if not careful. We didn't start at Lake Fairfax so we didn't go from the direction, but if you do, definitely be careful.
