There are three sections of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail. The 16.5-mile trail almost stretches through the entirety of King George County. This location was created from Dahlgren’s old railway system which was used to transport supplies and equipment from the US Navy base during World War II. After the war, the rail line would be used to transport passengers until it was retired in 1963.
Welcome to the Comorn Road access. The trail itself also has many beautiful forested areas that showcase fields, streams, and lakes, along with an abundance of local plants and wildlife. Here you will learn more about the Patawomeck Tribe and their strong trading networks.
The Indiantown Road access also has a geocache as part of the Native American Heritage Trail, and the Bloomsbury Road access has a sign as part of the Native American Heritage Trail.
