An eight-mile swath of the Potomac National Heritage Scenic Trail has been named for conservationist Ira Gabrielson.

The Gabrielson Trail runs along the Potomac River at Algonkian Regional Park in Sterling and ends at Riverbend Park in Fairfax County. A dedication ceremony held at the Sterling park Saturday was attended by state, regional and local officials.

A former chairman of the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, Gabrielson played a key role in creating the agency in the 1950s.
