Description:
The Easton Rail-Trail runs from Idlewild Avenue in the heart of Easton to Tanyard Branch. The initial 2.5-mile paved segment of the trail was completed in 1998. This existing segment connects Idlewild Park on the south end of town with the North Easton Park at the north end of town and is widely utilized. Future expansion of the trail would follow the rail line north to the village of Cordova. The town has restored a historic railroad station along the trail which serves as a museum, visitors center, and offices for non-profit organizations.

For more information on the current status of this rail-trail project, please see www.town-eastonmd.com/Planning/rails_to_trails.htm or contact the Town of Easton's Planning & Zoning Department at 14 S. Harrison Street, P.O. Box 520, Easton, MD 21601; 410-822-1943.

Worthwhile if you're already in the area
By annietatva in December, 2010
I've had the chance to jog this short trail twice while visiting in the area. The trail is traversed by several roads, though Eastonians usually stop their vehicles when they see a pedestrian waiting to cross. One direction is residential and lined with trees and empty fields, and the other is more industrial. The old railroad station is a nice hub, and the town itself is a great place to visit. If you eat at one of the excellent Easton restaurants, like the Bartlett Pear Inn, the Tidewater Inn, or the Peacock at the Inn at 202 Dover, then you'll need to traverse the trail several times to work off the sumptuous meal.
