The trail is 100% paved and takes you along the Anacostia River. I like that this trail has a good mix of city elements and natural beauty. The Kenilworth aquatic gardens are a wonderful stop early in the trail, you get to see a lot of swamp flowers. Later, closer to Dc you are taken up to the Fredrick Douglas memorial bridge. The large white arches of the bridge are breathtaking. There are many places to eat diner once you make it to Dc. I stopped at Gordon Ramseys fish and chips. Great trail!
Paint Branch Trail is good with one fatal flaw. Just west of Lake Artemesia there is a railroad underpass that develops a large mud pit after rainfall. Most of the time I've used this trail it has not been an issue, but I recently rode it after a rainfall and there was a mud pit approximately 25 feet long, with mud 2-3 inches deep, with no way around. Very unsafe and very irritating.
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!
We loved this trail. We went from Cape Henlopen to Rehoboth , then took this trail back to the campground. It was beautiful!!
The bridge is open and you're able to ride the full length of the trail. Great nature viewing throughout the ride. Surprisingly, over 1000 ft of elevation gain.
Some parts east of Carroll Park were a bit sketchy. That said, I love the variety that this trail brings. Western part is very well-signed and doesn’t even feel like city. Eastern part is a bit more confusing (I definitely recommend having the map open). This was a fun 2 rides.
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.
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.
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.
I biked the BWI Trail today with my son. We had a fantastic time. We covered 12.4 miles, and the trail was smooth, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. It loops around the airport, but you’d be surprised scenic it feels, with stretches of greenery, wooded areas, and even a few nice rest stops. Great for casual riders and pros alike. We’ll definitely be back for another ride.
I’m a casual writer and I wrote the entire trail and one day.
