Fountainhead Regional Park is a park bordering a tributary of the Potomac River. The Park contains rolling hills, dense forests, and a tributary that flows into the Potomac River. It has a mountain biking trail, preserved 18th century cemetery, walking trail, and a fishing lake. Houses in Fairfax Station and Clifton, Virginia border this park. Most of the park is closed during the winter.
The park's unique feature is the 10.9 miles (17.5 km) mountain biking trail which is currently being improved and rehabilitated by the Fountainhead Project. Phase I of the project was completed in June 2012. The work is funded by a grant, local and state government resources along with business and private donations.[1]
The park is administered by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority.
