A popular feature with hikers, bicyclists and outdoor enthusiasts, portions of the Washington & Old Dominion Trail (W&OD), one of suburban Washington, D.C.’s most popular rail-trails, is located near Old Dominion. The W&OD Railroad was built on the eve of the Civil War in 1858. At times both a passenger line and a freight line, the railroad eventually lost out to more efficient modes of transportation and went into disuse in 1968. In 1982 the Northern Virginia Parks Association bought the right-of-way and maintains the trail today with the help of volunteers of the Friends of the W&OD. The heavily used trail is frequented by commuters and recreationists alike, and is a fantastic link between Virginia’s rural and historical past and the nation’s capital.

Old Dominion shares boundaries with neighboring communities Yorktown, High View Park, Donaldson Run, Glebewood and Waverly Hills. It is only 20 minutes by car to Downtown Washington, the Pentagon, Metro stations from Rosslyn to East Falls Church, George Washington Memorial Parkway and Interstate 66.
