Biked the trail on Memorial Day 2023. The surface is still rough and gravelly. Appropriate for fat tires only. Also, the mileage markers are readable only in eastbound direction. This could be a first-class trail if the surface were improved.
May 25th we rode 15 miles out and back from the Turkey Hill Preserve just off River Road. Crossing over both the Safe Harbor and Martic Trestles. Kudos to everyone who has made this trail what it is today. The condition of the trail is excellent. The trail is mostly flat both directions in the section we rode. There are plenty of wildlife especially birds including eagles and vultures. I highly recommend everyone to put this trail on their to do list.
If you're looking for a nice flat trail that you can look at the scenery and not have to pay constant attention to people, where the next sharp turn is, and looking .25 mile ahead for where the trail is going , pick a different one. While most of the trail is flat and 90% of it is paved there are a lot more hills that we were expecting, and sections it can be confusing to navigate because the route in some spots is not well marked or the trail splits and comes back together for walkers/bikers making the map not very useful.
The size of gravel used to line the trail is to harsh for bicycling. I had to turn back because of the roughness. Awesome views though
So many things to see, side paths to the river, white cliffs of Conoy, historic towns, interpretive signs, and frequent potties ¿ The whole 14 miles was paved, but there was a small detour told it would be done soon. Nice mix of sunny and shady. Pretty busy for a weekday, don’t recommend a weekend if you avoid it.
The utility work is complete and the section from 8th Street to the Lebanon Expo is reopened and now completely paved !!! It returns to gravel as you head south to the Cornwall trailhead.
It’s a cool area to cruise on a longboard or skateboard. It’s hilly at some points flattish at others.
Nice flat and paved trail. Great for bike rides, scooters, jogging or walks. If you have kids, you might like that there is a playground with picnic tables along the trail. It would be nice to pack a lunch and stop to play. After you pass the playground on the trail there is an exit where you can get off the trail and cross the street to the playground.
Rode this entire trail from Hunt Valley to New Freedom PA a day after it rained hard all day. The rain held off and the trail drained nicely. The surface was not bad until about 5 miles before the PA border got narrow and a bit rough, thus the four star rating. And its a huge difference once you cross the border in PA to the Heritage trail as the surface is nicer and wider. We stayed in Hunt Valley at the Holiday Inn Express and it was only a 1/4 mile from the trail. Don't recommend that you ride to it as the road was very busy and narrow and no shoulder
The section of trail that was closed in January is closed again, this time to repair the trail surface. Scheduled to be closed until May 5.
We went out Saturday to explore this trail. While it is quiet and fairly secluded, it is rough. Plenty of segments are gravel—difficult to maneuver; the dirt segments are fine. Biked out 6 miles and turned around—just not fun. Mountain bikers would enjoy it more. No restrooms.
