This picture gallery is from the tour of the new trail network at the Potomac Shores development, on May 7. The trails were part of the proffer, and are being built by the developer. The network, 10-12 miles in length when completed, will include community trails and a portion of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail. This section is in the vicinity of Powells Creek. We also took a side trip to the area which overlooks the Potomac, near the site where the new VRE station and town center will be built.
