At 582 feet, Clarkes Gap, was the highest point on the Washington & Old Dominion Railroad. The stone bridge dates from the 1870s, but instead of a railway line now going underneath, there is a recreational trail and this is a super trail for cycling.

Leesburg Quarry (Historical Marker)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Leesburg Quarry is a historical site right off the Washington & Old Dominion Trail. This paved multi-use trail is about 45 miles and is a great way to ride around the area free of cars. There is a historical marker right off the trail in front of the old quarry. In the 1860s, the railroad's arrival spawned businesses like the Leesburg Lime Company, operating here since 1868. Using dynamite, quarriers extracted limestone, later burned in kilns. The company supplied farmers with fertilizer and builders with plaster. Its decline came when bluestone from the eastern county proved more durable for roads.

W&OD Trail — Leesburg section

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Completely paved and totaling right around 45 miles, the Washington & Old Dominion Trail is a super popular option for paved bike riding around the area. You can use the trail to make different loops or just do out and backs. Some sections (like this one) spend a good bit of time near cars and city streets, while other sections are through fields and countryside.
