I love going on this trail when riding my bike to work. It's so nice to ride without cars being beside you. When going out early you can see all kinds of wildlife out.
Even though the trail is in an urban setting it is surprisingly lush and beautiful. There is actually a marsh land half way that is a gorgeous place to rest and take some photos. The trail is smooth and pretty flat. Nice enjoyable easy ride.
Right next to the Brandywine Creek, nice level trail.
This trail was very scenic. With farmlands in the distance and nice scenery, which included art, a squirrel Haven to name a few. It’s a good ride or walk. My only issue was it wasn’t properly marked in Ephrata going through town. And there wasn’t an end of trail sign commemorating the trail.
Ditto to the person who wrote the review with questions/answers. Not too difficult with e-bikes. We have ridden this a few time & love it . We travel from Abingdon Md . Good directions where to get on the trail. Mostly flat & wear sunscreen cause you are not covered much by trees. Nice scenery. You will not regret riding this trail.
We have ridden this trail a few times & forgot to leave a review. It is amazing, nice curves/ paved well , goes along river, good signage. Won’t be disappointed. We had e-bikes & cruised along.
I read reviews on All trail site & my husband @ I thought we would try it due to what was posted on more variety of the trail. We would have given it a 5 rating if there was more direction at beginning of trail where to get on by the zoo. Like another reviewer posted it is to your left if you are looking at the zoo & is at the tree line. Also there are many forks in path that get you confused which way to go. Had the GPS which kept us on track. Loved the hills/ forest/ river. The end @ Bellefonte stopped at highway. We had e-bikes so it was really fun. Would do this again. pathBesides this we have e- bikes & loved the hills/ wooded area with bridges.
I started riding this trail in 2018 and rode it 3-5 times a summer. It was a great trail that allowed you to get 12 miles in before riding the Cross Island Trail just 3 miles away. The tree roots have been bulging the asphalt for the past 7 years and now it is so bad I don't know if I will ride it again. For the first 1-2 miles from the start of either end the roots have the asphalt bulged up over two inches. Even riding with a suspension seat post the trail jars your spine unless you are standing on the foot pegs. Since the roots are so numerous this means you would be on the pegs 50 percent of the time. With the financial state that Maryland is in I doubt this trail will be repaired any time in the foreseeable future.
The western end is paved and is a nice as any rail trail anywhere. Just short. The eastern end has a boardwalk section and then drops you on a gravel section. The gravel is a little big for my liking. I was on a road bike riding 30s but did fine. This section goes through a cut in the mountain made to get the railroad a level grade.
This trail was really fun! Easy to zoom-zoom especially eastbound. The unpaved section had some dirt patches but they weren’t really problematic. Rothsville Rd crossing eastbound is a bit risky due to poor visibility. I also saw some stunning views in the Warwick Twp. section. Worth the hour drive.
I kept hearing how beautiful this "trail" was. Most of the "trail" was city streets even before you get in to Baltimore. It was also poorly marked. Keep a GPS handy, or just give up on the trail and ride through whatever Baltimore streets you feel like riding.
It does take you past the Baltimore Zoo which was nice. It also takes you right in to Inner Harbor which is also a good place to hang out for a bit.
