This is a great trail. Shaded and flat. It could use some more signage, though, to help identify right and lefts.
We camped at Indian Rock Campground right along this trail. It was a lovely comfortable ride with our mountain bikes. The Howard Tunnel was neat too. We highly recommend this trail.
We Loved this trail. We got on at the Brillhart Road Parking lot went down the trail through the Howard tunnel, all the way down to the Hanover Junction. It was pretty much all in the shade. There were sections with very low grade ups and downs but the grade was so low you couldn’t see the hills visually, you just felt the difference in your legs. There was also minimal street crossings and they were all super small back roads with minimal traffic, which was great for my kids.
This was the second time I visited this trail. But the change in parking location from Quarryville the first time to Red Hill Road in Pequa this time made all the difference. From the that trailhead, you can choose what direction you’d like to enjoy the trail. But I would highly recommend going west towards the Martic Forge Trestle and the beginning of the spectacular views of the Susquehanna to River
there are some really old bridges that go over the C&O. the highlight is the paw paw tunnel. better to walk through it. once you hit little orleans, i suggest going on the western maryland trail. it is fully paved and nice.
hancock is a great town
It’s a simple riverside greenway. It’s a little hillier than I expected for a riverside trail, but it’s in good shape and not too hard to ride. Most of the river view is blocked by shrubbery, but you can still see it, and it’s pretty nice. The trail was a bit crowded on a Monday evening.
It’s along the bed of a would-be expressway, and therefore there’s really nothing to see. I averaged 12 mph, and it felt slow. It’s in outstanding shape and looks new, but the perfect shape combined with the lack of scenery made it utterly boring. At least it had a fun downhill.
I’m giving this an extra star because of the eastern extension; the eastern extension is in great shape and fun to ride. However, the western mainline is not in good shape. Many spots had dense stones where I spun my wheels. The main parking lot is closed until November, and there’s a section of trail covered in orange construction material. I suppose it would be a nice walk, but it really wasn’t a great ride.
Very reminiscent of other longer rail-trails. A little rough in spots.
I love going on this trail when riding my bike to work. It's so nice to ride without cars being beside you. When going out early you can see all kinds of wildlife out.
Even though the trail is in an urban setting it is surprisingly lush and beautiful. There is actually a marsh land half way that is a gorgeous place to rest and take some photos. The trail is smooth and pretty flat. Nice enjoyable easy ride.
