Bluemont Junction Trail, Rail trail in Arlington County, Virginia.
The Bluemont Junction Trail extends 1.2 miles through residential neighborhoods, connecting the Washington and Old Dominion Trail to Fairfax Drive in Ballston.
Originally constructed as a railroad spur in 1912, the line operated until 1963 before Arlington County transformed it into a recreational trail in 1988.
The trail incorporates educational displays about railroad heritage, including a preserved caboose at Bluemont Junction Park that illustrates local transportation history.
Five street crossings mark the route, with access points at Bluemont Junction Park offering parking facilities and connections to the Four Mile Run Trail system.
The trail elevation changes from 207 feet at its southwest end to 275 feet at Wilson Boulevard, featuring a 9-hole disc golf course along its path.
