Holmes Run Trail (Alexandria)

4 mile paved trail that runs from the Columbia Pike in Falls Church, Va, to Eisenhower Ave in Alexandria, VA. It follows Holmes Run as it runs between Lake Braddock and Cameron Run.

The northern mile of this trail has numerous water crossings, and the stream is prone to flooding. In 2013, a bridge connecting 2 sections of North Chambliss Street was completed which made this trail continuous from Lake Barcroft to Cameron Run. In 2014, the northern section of the trail reopened after being closed off for over a year due to a broken sewer line.

This section of the Holmes Run Trail runs through Alexandria and is a paved asphalt trail. A separate section of trail running along Holmes Run is in Annandale and can be seen here: Holmes Run Trail (Annandale)
