The Broadneck Peninsula Trail now extends from Anne Arundel Community College to Sandy Point State Park Headquarters for a total of 7.5 miles or 15 miles round trip. Parking is available at Broadneck park parking lots and the Cape Saint Claire Park parking lot. Great ride!
Great paved trail which is mostly shaded. It starts around the Microtell Hotel and ends up at the DMV. I haven't seen any bikers but often there are walkers and joggers.
I try to ride this trail 2-3 times a year. Had the trail to myself today except for a few people walking. The first 2 miles and the last 1 mile have a lot of raised places from the tree roots. Many places the asphalt is pushed up 2-3 inches. You have to keep your eyes on the asphalt in order to stand on the pedals or your back will be jarred really bad. At one point I heard a metal sound and after stopping found I did not have my rear bag fully zippered closed. The sound I heard was a tool being tossed out of my bag. This was a nice trail and it's a shame they don't mill down the raised places. Not sure if I will ride it again.
We love this trail. Almost 13 miles round trip.
Easy to find once you arrive near the schools. It's a wonderful connector path for local residents to ride to the beautiful Smyrna school campus.
Mostly bike lanes along busy roads. The city is beautiful but I was disappointed that I could not find a trail along the water and lake. I even asked a State Trooper and they said that they were not aware of an actual trail.
I went down to Dover and followed the Google map and the trails map and could not find an actual trail. It appears that the trail is nothing but bike lanes on main roads. I asked a state trooper where the Jones River Trail was where there were signs pointing, and she had no idea what the Jones river was. Was very disappointed looking for the trails, but Dover is a beautiful town, especially in the legislative district.
Maybe before the spring the phone company Will remove the lines & large tree branch that's stretching across the path...
Actually, it's pretty good in that it is paved, level and well-maintained. Not super scenery but pleasant enough. Worth riding if you're looking for an easy fifteen miles on a different trail.
Nice ride up to Lewis mid October. There is a new, large paved parking lot on Cool Spring Rd, just past the intersection at Rt 9. Need to cross Rt 9 to get to the trail, so caution is needed. Pretty ride through the tree shaded area, less so the closer you get to Lewis where it’s a lot busier.
We started this path from the Conowingo dam parking lot. We had to move through a group of turkey vultures to get to the trailhead. It was a beautiful fall day and the trail was clear of most debris. There are quarter mile markers. While we were out, several bikers were also on the trail. We took several side trails to the river to see other wildlife and to get some sun. The deep canopy of the trail blocks much of the sun making this an easy stroll in 80 degree weather.
