Fairfax County offers over
900 miles of trails, bikeways and sidewalks for non-motorized
transportation that have been mapped using a Geographic Information
Systems database. Fairfax Trail Buddy is a web-based mapping
tool that allows you to discover the extensive network of Fairfax
County Park trails. Fairfax Trail Buddy also provides access to
the Bike Fairfax Interactive Bike
Map, which highlights the most desirable on-road and off-road
bike routes for recreational and commuter bicyclists. The web map is
accessible from all types of devices and operating systems.
