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.
This trail is outstanding so far. Still a lot of work to be done, but wow.
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!
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.
It’s a nice little trail. Notice: the only restroom is mid-way at the Water St. cul-de-sac.
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.
This trail is straight-up amazing. I have nothing else to say.
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.
I started at city island and headed up river which is nice- you might have a hard time following at times as you go along the backside of Harrisburg- the path at Farmshow complex is closed due to repairs. I found that having this app or having trail loaded on bike computer is a very big help combined with the green belt signs to reinforce. Seems to be a lot of areas with construction. Some parts of the trail are on streets or crossing streets… so be prepared for traffic… I used bright clothing and my flashing bikes to lights.. this might be a better for walking or running
The map shows the trail stopping at Main Street in Bel Air. Another mile has been added to that. It’s been there a couple of years and now they are working on a new section. When done this will connect the two sections that are existing. While this is the closest trail to me I seldom ride it because of two things. 1 is it does not really follow the old rail bed the whole time. Because of this it has some major hills. 2 is that it is to crowded for me. All personal opinions.
I walk here often with my dog. If you’re on a bike coming up behind me, or if you are running and approaching from behind me, I can’t hear you!! Naturally my dog will shy or jump up due to a startle. Please use a bell or call out. Thanks!
