The Friends of the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit group of volunteers who work to develop, preserve, and maintain the historic rail-to-trail greenway as a major recreational, tourism, and educational opportunity for the citizens of King George County and the state of Virginia.  They work to ensure that this linear trail, designated as a National Recreation Trail and an important segment of the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail, is preserved in perpetuity for future generations under the protection of the Virginia State Park System.
