Nice easy path
By angelseed01 in May, 2011
I just visited this path for the first time today. Being a late Thursday morning, I guess one would expect traffic to be quiet. I passed maybe 6 other folks each way along the 3.8 mile stretch. Since I live in Bowie, I parked at the tiny lot at the Bragers Rd trailhead. There was one other car there when I got there but my car was the only one left when I got back. I have seen that lot pretty full on a Friday evening, though.

There isn't much in the way of scenery, mostly trees. There is a bridge that crosses over a river and some houses from the Piney Orchard development are visible. What did excite me most was the discovery of a side trailhead for the Piney Orchard Nature Area about 3/4 mile up the WB&A trail from the Bragers Rd trailhead. I am anxious now to go back and explore this area as well.

Overall I will visit this trail in the future for the quiet and the mile markers that help me with my running training.
