When you fancy a little outdoor exercise the Lake Thoreau Loop Trail is a good option in Reston. The multi-use paved trail is a favorite with local dog walkers and is around 2 miles long. Offering pleasant views of one of the city’s lakes, the trail meanders through a mix of residential pathways and there is a good mix of sunny and shaded areas. If you are planning to bring along the family you need to consider that some parts of the trail are fairly steep and would be cumbersome to navigate with a stroller or with very young children on foot.
