Aquia Harbour has walking trails and diamond lanes that connect Sections I & II and stretch from Government Island to Aquia Park.  The trail will eventually be connected to the cart path at the golf course creating a nice long foot and bike path.  Doggie waste bags stations are conveniently located along stretches of the trail as are benches and keep fit stations.  The golf course is a lovely 2+ mile loop but walk at your own risk… golfers have been known to slice.  Fore!
