The Mount Vernon Trail is a 17 mile (27 km) paved path in Northern Virginia that travels between George Washington’s home at Mount Vernon and Rosslyn.

The trail opened as a gravel path in 1972 and was later paved: it is popular with bicyclists and hikers. The trail runs parallel to the western bank of the Potomac River and the George Washington Memorial Parkway. In the northern part of the trail there are views of the river and of Washington, DC because it is an open area.

The southern part of the trail is more wooded and the river can only sometimes be seen. The trail is part of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail.
