I try to ride this trail 2-3 times a year. Had the trail to myself today except for a few people walking. The first 2 miles and the last 1 mile have a lot of raised places from the tree roots. Many places the asphalt is pushed up 2-3 inches. You have to keep your eyes on the asphalt in order to stand on the pedals or your back will be jarred really bad. At one point I heard a metal sound and after stopping found I did not have my rear bag fully zippered closed. The sound I heard was a tool being tossed out of my bag. This was a nice trail and it's a shame they don't mill down the raised places. Not sure if I will ride it again.
We love this trail. Almost 13 miles round trip.
Mostly bike lanes along busy roads. The city is beautiful but I was disappointed that I could not find a trail along the water and lake. I even asked a State Trooper and they said that they were not aware of an actual trail.
I went down to Dover and followed the Google map and the trails map and could not find an actual trail. It appears that the trail is nothing but bike lanes on main roads. I asked a state trooper where the Jones River Trail was where there were signs pointing, and she had no idea what the Jones river was. Was very disappointed looking for the trails, but Dover is a beautiful town, especially in the legislative district.
I start at Red Hill Road parking lot in Pequa and do the 20 mile round trip to Turkey Hill and back, it is flat, no potholes or surprises and glorious. Two bridges, 5 miles each way along the river, often a train, many groups of rock climbers on the weekend. Just glorious. If you want to add miles, going west is level and wooded. Some might say boring however I find it cool, refreshing and safe. My favorite trail!
A lot of trail damage from storms in July 2025 makes for a very rough ride. Rough hard gravel, very bumpy ride. Could be dangerous if riding fast. My friends and I have moved to the Pa Heritage Rail Trail. NCR is more beautiful though rough. Would love to know if/when trail damage will be smoothed out. Got to be a budget for repair
Nice wide open relatively flat trail. It is after all a rail trail. After the 22 mile mark it turned pretty rough. Large gravel,mud…. I turned back….was hoping to take this to the end near gap. I do enjoy this rail trail. Well maintained nice country & river view for first several miles
Nice ride up to Lewis mid October. There is a new, large paved parking lot on Cool Spring Rd, just past the intersection at Rt 9. Need to cross Rt 9 to get to the trail, so caution is needed. Pretty ride through the tree shaded area, less so the closer you get to Lewis where it’s a lot busier.
Parked at Carroll Park to get on the trail and I’ll never do that again. Credit to the numerous homeless people gathered around and the guy actively infecting drugs into his arm for not breaking into my car for the 90 minutes I was on the trail. Graffiti everywhere and quite a bit of trash. Once you get to Leakin Park it’s actually pretty nice. I’m pretty new to Baltimore and I’m really hoping it has better bike trails to offer than this.
We started this path from the Conowingo dam parking lot. We had to move through a group of turkey vultures to get to the trailhead. It was a beautiful fall day and the trail was clear of most debris. There are quarter mile markers. While we were out, several bikers were also on the trail. We took several side trails to the river to see other wildlife and to get some sun. The deep canopy of the trail blocks much of the sun making this an easy stroll in 80 degree weather.
My first time on this trail today and I was not disappointed! Each trail has a personality and I would say that the WB&A is the back country cousin of the the more metro B&A trail over by Annapolis. Lots of tunnels and bridges make this interesting, and the steep, serpentine descent on pristine new blacktop going south to the new bridge was exhilarating and frightening at the same time. A super ride out and back. I parked at the Electric Ave Lot at mile 1. The map shows a restroom (Jiffy John), but I didn't see any on my trip today. The closest one starting at the southern end was at the parking lot at 8609 Race Track Rd, Bowie, MD. The splash park did not have an external restroom that I could find.
