Bike the Wilson Bridge Trail — The 3.5-mile, 12-foot wide trail can take you straight from Old Town Alexandria by Jones Point Park to National Harbor. It extends from Oxon Hill Road across the Potomac River to the Huntington Metro Station in Virginia. The trail has a rating of “easy,” according to Prince George’s County Department of Parks and Recreation, except for a difficult half-mile, uphill section to Oxon Hill Road from the bridge where the trail gains 200 feet in elevation.
