Kent Island South Trail

Kent Island South

May, 2026 by carrollb

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.

Smyrna-Clayton Bike Path

Nice Little Trail

May, 2026 by keithdel555

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.

Northwest Lancaster County River Trail

great!

May, 2026 by nature.lover.3

First time with my new bike! It was a cool morning so hardly anyone out….and then the afternoon came. Kids. Dogs. Ugh. But all good. It was a super fun ride. In the beginning some of the asphalt buckles or tree roots lifting it up so you will feel the bumps

Capital Crescent Trail

good trail

April, 2026 by aldo_desalvo

The part in the city is pretty boring. You get a nice tunnel and an old rail bridge. The surface is paved and has a few root issues. Most of the path is shaded. 5 stars

Arlington Loop

Mount Vernon Trail

Easter weekend 2026. Saturday

April, 2026 by amy2paul

My husband, our two adult sons & I rode the trail yesterday. We hopped on at Unlimited Biking where we rented a bike for one son. Highly recommended. Employee was polite & had everything all re when we arrived. You can access the trail right there. We first rode north to Reagan Airport to watch the planes. That section was very busy! Lots of walker, dogs & bikes so be careful. Then we turned back south & had lunch before getting back on to ride to the end at George & Martha’s place. Much less crowded. Nice ride!

Metropolitan Branch Trail

nice walk

December, 2025 by tawanda_holley824

The path in some areas were easily accessible and shown however coming from takoma the signage was not very well maintained…the bike trail was on side and the signage on the opposite side. Luckily I know the area to get to the actual trail. Other than that, it was a pleasant bike trail.
