The trail is paved and easy to ride, and the water fountains that line the trail actually work! Great for beginners and experienced riders. Well-populated but not overcrowded.
I just rode 28 miles round trip today (May 30, 2025) on the WB&A Trail and it was great!
Contrary to the narrative in the description, the bridge over the Patuxent River is now open.
Started in Odenton and parked on Railroad Ave just North of the trail entrance and rode all the way to Annapolis Road (Rt 450).
Lots of bikers and pedestrians out on the trail today.
Great day to ride!
Nice trail. Parking at either end of the trail. 1 port-a-potty at the trailheads. All asphalt & level just watch for upheavals in the trail in a couple of different places.
I’m a casual writer and I wrote the entire trail and one day.
An amazing free resource for the lower eastern shore. Flat sand trail mostly covered with pine needles. I would not recommend this trail if your tires are less than 50mm (2 inch) wide. Minimal but effective main trail markings. Multiple unmarked side trails. Adequate parking. Pack a lunch and make a day of it. This is a state forest not a park, there are port-a-john's near the parking area.
This is a really nice trail for a quick ride on any kind of bike. Really enjoyed it today wish it was longer.
We live in Milton and have visited the trail several times. Each time I think how awesome it would be if it connected to the larger trail system leading into Lewes, Cape Henlopen State Park, and Rehoboth. On occasion, we will get into the car and drive to one of those trailheads. The Milton rail trail is beautiful, but maybe be a little shortsighted for those wanting more of a workout/challenge/enjoyment.
This “trail” is nothing more than a sidewalk behind a shopping center.
I frequently ride the Cross Island Trail. You can extend your ride starting at the Royal Farms. Continue on Sadler Rd when it ends make a left on Chester River Beach Rd then right on VFW Ave. At the Quality Inn make a left onto Winchester Creek Rd. Then right onto Hissey Rd and then left back onto Winchester Creek Road. Stop at Nesbit Rd. The roads are not busy and will add 4 more miles to your round trip.
We were on Kent Island for a wedding, and we took a stroll from the Hyatt Hotel in the direction away from the Bay Bridge. The trail runs alongside the busy road for a mile or so, then there’s a short stretch in a pleasant piney woods, and then back to the busy road. The trail is well maintained and the surface is good, and the part in the woods was pretty nice. But for most of our 3.5 mile walk (total, there and back) it was like walking beside a busy road. If I did this again, I’d try to access the trail at a place where you would have a nicer experience.
BARN CATS STILL THERE! I couldn't believe it. Again, one was laying on the trail, just as chill as could be. An hour later, it was still there! Must have become jaded with all the attention it must get, b/c it didn't care about my presence, or the little pat I gave it, lol.
Trail is still a pleasant getaway in the country. Very little traffic on the trail on an early Saturday evening. Still in good shape. Some bumps in it now, from tree roots, but they are few and far between. Wish I could live along this trail.
