Description: The trail area is in a bird sanctuary. There is a outerloop which is for horses and hikers, and is prohibited. The inner loop is the mountain bike loop. The trail consists of singletrack hard pack clay-dirt. There are just enough small rocks and roots to make the trail entertaining. There are NO steep ups or downs, logs, drops, or jumps. The trail does have great flow and if ridden fast, the mild ups and downs mixed with very fun corners makes it a trail to check out at least one time. The biggest downfall is the short length. However, if you take multiple laps as fast as possible the trail is very enjoyable and good practice for cornering [one way loop]. I will definately go back soon.

Awesome trail for a quick workout. Lots of twists and turns, some hills. Stays super muddy awhile after it rains, but other than that pretty fun.

I've ridden this trail several times now and have fun every time I'm on it. Pretty smooth ride without too many rocks and roots to maneuver around. Nothing too technical about it really, just make sure that you're not in too high of a gear range or else you'll be walking up a couple of surprising hills that pop up after a couple of the turns. The trail is interesting enough to keep you wanting to go for a few laps before hopping back on the W&OD trail to get back to your car.

Two Creeks Trail Only riding a few months now, but I find this fairly challenging, and a lot of fun. I time my laps and try to do better the next week.

There must be a different section to this. Cause I went west on route 7 from Ashburn VA, and parked near Goose Creek Golf Course. Went under the rte 7 Bridge over goose creek and found what i thought was goose creek trail. It was fun, a good amount of logs to jump over. About 2 1 foot wide wood bridges and one like 7 inches wide wood plank bridge. Steep drops into creek beds. 1 or 2 sections that I had to get off my bike cause there were some really hard rock sections. Definatly worth going to ride from Reston, Herndon, Sterling, Ashburn, Leeseburg, and Purceville. Directions: From Tysons Corner Rte 7 west. Left on Golf Club Rd Leesburg, VA 20175

It's incredibly easy and rather fun. I had to dismount on some parts of the trail because the hairpin turns are complete 180s in less than 10 feet or so. The trail length is roughly .8-.9 on my cyclometer, but I never measured the exact length. It's a great trail to ride to if you live near Ashburn but nothing more than that.

OK its short but easy and fun! It's a good break off the W&OD. It was easy to get to. We parked at the lot at Cochran Rd. It's just past mile marker 30.5 on the W&0D. If you stay on the packed dirt part of the trail,l its slightly less than a mile .92 miles according to my bike computer. But about 1/2 way around you can venture off the trail and go down to the creek. The trail is surrounded by two creeks, hence it's name "Two Creeks Trail", Goose Creek and Sycolin Creek. Right as you enter the trail take a quick detour to the right about 1/8 of a mile down the hill to see the Goose Creek Bridge holding up the W&OD trail. Quite a neet sight. Also while going the 1/2 mile from parking to the trail beginning on the the W&OD stop and look Sycolin Creek bridge. We saw lots of turtles on the rocks and a Goose nesting eggs on the side of the bridge. Lots of nice things about this trail. It's well maintained. I had fun the day I went as it was a lttle muddy as it had rained the day before. LOVE THE MUD! If you are into Rock Quarries, they are all around this trail. We stopped on the way and took a few pictures of the GIANT TRUCKS. I'll try to post all the pictures.

this trail is a short trail that is good to train on. as one person already said it is best if you run a couple of loops at a time. it is just barely difficult enough to punish arrogance and laziness, but not difficult enough to hurt you in the process. if you need cornering work it is okay. * Review edited 3/19/2008* Review edited 3/19/2008

Don't get your hopes up. It's a nice little trail for a minor work out, but don't ride miles down the W&OD to get to it as you will likely be disappointed. Overall relatively level and prefab by non mountain bikers, not complaining but don't make it a destination.

Quick, Non-technical run off of the W&OD. Takes 5 minutes or less to complete the loop. Safe to ride alone, not any real dangers spots.

This trail is a lot of fun. It offers some challenging singletrack with quick downhill racing and uphill climbs. The problem is it is too short. Usually I try to do the trail twice after work to get my fix. Outside the trail is a hiker/horse trail that is even longer. I have asked the NVRPA who oversees the W & OD to open that section to Mountain Bikers. The reasons I stated were the trash, vandalism and illegal fishing that were taking place along the hiker section. It is my opinion that the presence of Mt. Bikers would scare away the element who are partaking in these illegal activities. The NVRPA declined to open the trail to bikers and said they would check into the issues I raised. Is anyone interested in getting a petition together to ask that this section be opened to Mt. Bikers?
