Gwynns Falls Trail

Decidedly mixed experience, probably won't repeat

April, 2025 by julie.lundquist

Rode south from Inner Harbor to MedStar Harbor Hospital, a decidedly mixed experience. The "urban" part is tricky, not well-signed, and lots of crumbly asphalt and broken glass. The spot where the Middle Branch Trail/E Coast Greenway hits Russell St (south of Top Golf, just north of the Wheelabrator) is also a spot for people to gather, didn't feel very safe. (It was neat to see Gwynnda the Good Wheel of the West near there, however.) The "Westport" section of the trail feels very exposed: deserted industrial with occasional cars with opaque windows...once you arrive to the Middle Branch Park, the trail is more park-like but not well-populated even on a beautiful day and the trail is not in great condition. Pretty views of Baltimore from the coast. If you're departing from the inner harbor, would recommend just biking out to Fort McHenry instead - a bit more traffic but feels significantly safer and much nicer.

Jones Falls Trail

Surprisingly well-maintained for Baltimore City. Northern half is very hilly.

April, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It’s in great shape compared to some of the city streets, and is somewhat well-marked. I used the map on the TrailLink app to make sure I didn’t make a wrong turn, and would recommend the same to other riders. Sometimes you have to share a sidewalk or street, but when you do they’ve been widened for it. North of Falls Road, there are several sets of switchbacks and several hills.

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

Really fun ride

April, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

Hands-down amazing trail. It’s a nice wooded adventure, especially east of Riverfront Park, and it’s twisty! Not enough to really impede a good ride. I like the twists; they made the trail interesting in ways many rail trails don’t. Highly recommend for riders of all levels.

Hanover Trolley Trail

Amazing so far

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

This trail is outstanding so far. Still a lot of work to be done, but wow.

Enola Low Grade Trail

Kinda boring at times, but great for long rides

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

The trail is incredibly straight, so it can seem boring at times, but that also makes long rides easy since you can just go without having to slow down for roads or anything. Eden and Bart townships have done work on improving their segments, and the whole trail, even where it says “unimproved,” is perfectly rideable until Atglen, where it does deteriorate a bit. Overall great trail.

Ma & Pa Community Greenway

No parking; lots of hill

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

The church parking is not open to the public. I parked on Charles St. That said, the trail is in great shape, and there is a trestle bridge leftover from the railroad viewable from the trail. Just note: it’s a climb!

Broad Street Greenway

Well-maintained and growing

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

This is a great urban trail. Lots of road-crossings, as you can expect being in the city. Note that the parking listed on the map is private; I had to park on Edgar St. I also found an unlisted expansion to the south.

Hollow Creek Greenway

Good short trail

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It’s a nice little trail. Notice: the only restroom is mid-way at the Water St. cul-de-sac.

MA & PA Heritage Trail

Crowded but manageable

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

I often had to slow down for pedestrians on a weekend in February. Has some brief but aggressive climbs. Excited for the final piece to open soon.

Heritage Rail Trail County Park

For as long as I bike, I will ride this trail.

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

This trail is straight-up amazing. I have nothing else to say.

Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail

Don’t go in January

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

I tried to do this trail in segments in January. The snow melts way slower on the trail than in other unplowed places. I also think the grades in the northern parts are tough.

BWI Trail

Long time user.

March, 2025 by eansel

Who ever scheduled work and approved the contactor to repair boardwalk bridge section along Telegraf Road should look for another job. New boards make it less safe than the old ones. A trip hazard and surface that may cause wheeled users to lose control. It is not improved but made less safe of a crossing for bikers, walkers, joggers, strollers, rollerbladers and skateboarders when they cross it. Almost like adding pot holes to asphalt. Just one persons comment.
