      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 two advanced mountain bike trails, The Col Du Shade and 95th Street.

      Locust Shade provides 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).

      Overall there are nearly 7 miles of trails at Locust Shade, 5 of which are multi-use.

      The Locust Shade team is actively raising funds to perform maintenance on the Col Du Shade and along the power jump line. Every little bit helps, please donate at more-mtb.org
