Designated in 2006 as a National Recreation Trail, the Bull Run-Occoquan Trail (BROT) invites hikers and horseback riders to discover more than 4,000 acres of scenic woodlands.

The 17-mile trail rises over steep wooded hillsides, winds through deep ravines and crosses numerous streams and flood plains.  Hiking may be considered moderately strenuous, and trail users are encouraged to carry ample water and wear appropriate foot and ankle support.  Many parks along the trail are open seasonally and should not be regarded as reliable sources of food, water or emergency care.
