Western Maryland Rail Trail what a glorious trail!! By wulfgurl in 11/9/2009 4:04:23 PM | i rode about 3 1/2 miles (7 miles total) of the western part of this trail starting in Hancock, MD. This is a great trail if you are just starting to bike...it is flat..the asphalt makes it for a great, comfortable ride, and the scenery if great!! i cant wait to get out there again!!
