The route from the W&OD Trail to Lake Fairfax is utilized by mountain bikers as part of a connection to Difficult Run. The bikers leave the W&OD route at point 17 on that map and continue to Colvin Run Mill starting at Point 1 on that route map. They join the Fairfax County Connector Trail near Colvin Run Mill where Colvin Run meets with Difficult Run.
