TRAIL TIPS Birchwood encourages an active lifestyle through a variety of multiuse trails with various surfaces. These open trails connect residents to nature, neighbors, community facilities, and more. All persons using the trails do so at their own risk and agree to abide by the rules for use. The Association assumes no responsibility for any accident or injury in connection with such use or for any loss or damage to personal property. Residents are responsible for the actions of their tenants, guests, and children. Report all hazardous conditions to 703-327-1150 or Hello@HOAatBirchwood.com.
Trail Use & Rules Motorized vehicles, other than bikes, scooters or wheelchairs, or driven by authorized maintenance staff, are not permitted. When on the trail, travel in the right lane and pass on the left. Do not block the trail, move off the trail when stopped. Pets must be on leash; maintain control of your dog and yield to others. Properly dispose of trash and pet waste. Fires and smoking on the trail are prohibited.
Additional Tips Please use common sense and courtesy when using the trail. Always stay alert, watch for terrain and surface changes. For safety and communicating with others, wear only one ear bud when using a listening device. Use the trails with a buddy; tell family or friends where you are headed and when to expect your return. Please note that Stream Valley Park Trail System is unpaved and includes uneven surfaces. Proper footwear (hiking or athletic shoes) is highly recommended. Be weather wise. Keep an eye on current and predicted weather conditions. Report any suspicious activity to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office at 703-777-1021, or in an emergency call 911.

Tick Prevention
Avoid tick-infested areas, such as tall grasses, whenever feasible. Do a tick check whenever you return from a potential tick habitat. Clothes may be pretreated with a tick repellent called permethrin. Other tick repellents are available for treating the skin, but be sure to follow label instructions before using any repellent. Wear light-colored clothing with long sleeves and long pants and tuck your pants into your socks.
