Carl Henn Millennium Trail

not pretty but gets the job done

September, 2026 by kitramos94

I use this route for shorter runs but it’s definitely not my favorite. Lots of road crossing and a good chunk of the trail (between Gude+355 and Norbeck+355) is on a regular sidewalk next to heavy traffic in a commercial+industrial area. Definitely not a good route if you’re looking for a scenic trail. There’s a very small portion in a nice neighborhood that is wooded, but that’s the extent of the scenery, otherwise you’re getting cars and businesses. Also- depending on the time of day, the coverage from the sun is basically nonexistent. I had to stop using this running route during the summer because there’s nothing to stop the sun from beating down on you. Overall it gets the job done but it’s not my first choice by a long shot

Great American Rail-Trail

Lovely Ride!

September, 2026 by l_digby

We rode the GAP from Cedar Creek Park to the Boston trailhead at the base of the Historic Boston Bridge and back. About 36 miles round trip. What a great ride. Smooth trail with lots of benches and several picnic areas and toilet facilities. Well maintained. Passed through several little communities along the trail. No major highways and very few little roads to cross making it very safe. Got a delicious huge “medium” size ice cream cone at the “Big Twist” in Blythedale, right off the trail. Highly recommend this ride!

WB&A Trail

Almost Everything You've Read is Wrong. LOL!

August, 2026 by ron731

I have been looking to ride this trail for a long time. My wife and I live about 40 miles west and come over to ride the nearby B&A several times a year. This trail, however, rarely gets reviewed and gets some negative comments, usually about road or bridge closures. I recently noticed several postings saying the trail was open, so we decided to try it, starting in Odenton and riding to Bowie.

Welp, it is nice and we will put it into our rotation, but there are several issues with it and the reviews are somewhat misleading.

First, parking. There isn't any parking at either terminus. Nothing in Odenton and while there is a shopping center at the Bowie end, it's across a major highway (Rt 450). We didn't need to cross since we parked in Odenton, so I can't comment on how easy/hard the Bowie situation is.

We wound up parking at the GORC (Gambrils-Odenton Recreation Center), as directed in the TrailLink app. Before we got there, we saw the northern most trailhead on Piney Orchard Pkwy. The trail runs along it for about 0.75 miles and then disappears. So, we continued on to the GORC and parked looking for signs directing you to the Trail or Trail Parking. We figured that the Trail must run through the Park. So, we looked for cars with bike racks indicating we were in the right place. Nada. So does it follow the road through the park or is it the path running along the road in front of the Park (Strawberry Lake Way) like it does along Piney Orchard? Who knows? We then saw somebody riding on the path in front of the park, so we decided to take that, thinking that was the Trail.

Well . . . that path was a shared multi-use path descending about 0.6 miles to the Trail. It was a difficult ride since the downward slope was about 3-6% and there were people walking their dogs, pushing strollers, meandering with their toddlers and intersections with subdivisions. Trying to keep the bike under control on a 5% downhill to avoid all of that was not easy and a little nerve-wracking. We should have ridden on the road, but we actually thought that was the bike path.

Once we got to the path, we weren't sure which way was Bowie and which was Odenton. My wife and I disagreed so we took her suggestion. :) She was correct, you take the left and soon come to a 2.5 milepost. We did not know if that was marking the distance from the Odenton Trail Head, or the River but we soon came to a 3.0 mile marker and decided we must be going toward the River.

Terrain. Many posts mention that it is a mostly flat trail. It isn't. I would estimate that less than 4.5 of the 13 miles is flat (<0.5% slope). The "flat" parts generally run from 0.5-2.0 slope. Nothing really hard, but my Strava app congratulated me for my longest uphill climb of 0.73 miles at 1.4%. It also contains a relatively steep section just north of the River in Anne Arundel County that seems to vary between 3-5%. Again, Strava congratulated me on my biggest climb of the year, 127 feet in about 0.6 miles. I should note that when we stopped on the flat portion next to the bridge before the uphill, a group of six riders -- relatively fit and in their 30s -- passed us and the leader said to the group, "Here we go!" So, this is a significant climb. But I never needed my granny gear, and we did it at around 10.4 mph.

Trail Markers. As I said there were some trail markers but in general the trail is poorly marked in many places. On the Odenton side, the trail is marked every 0.5 miles until it isn't -- at the 4.0 mile marker (maybe 3.5). That isn't too disconcerting except that sometimes the trail shares road with cars (there are signs) or intersects with side paths and it isn't always easy (especially at speed) to be sure you are going on the correct one. There is also mention that you need to take a spur to get to the bridge, but we never saw it and realized that the "spur" seems to be nothing more than the trail on the PG County side of the bridge, through a parking lot. You then veer right and up a small incline to continue on the trail.

The trail is nice, and I plan to do it again. Oh yeah, we recommend the Hideaway for after ride refreshment.

Carl Henn Millennium Trail

terrible

August, 2026 by 7v2fghznv7

I walked this trail after I moved here and I started out in the Fallsgrove park area which is beautiful. Too bad that after that, you permanently walk next to speeding traffic for the other 8.5 miles. I did get REALLY close to a deer which was kind of cool but scary

Ireland Drive Trail

Use Caution

August, 2026 by 6qgnhshmzc

This trail in not great for cycling. It is not well maintained, lots of ruts from tree roots breaking through the asphalt. Also, many dog owners let their dog off leash (violating the Montgomery County leash law), and do not have a view or control of their dog. It is very hazardous to cyclists, so use caution.

Matthew Henson Trail

Slick when wet but very beautiful

July, 2026 by elizabeth.scuderi

A friend of mine and I cycled from Rock Creek to this trail today. It was really nice and a big surprise to me considering I grew up nearby but moved out of the area 25 years ago. It’s a little hilly and the boardwalks are super slick if it’s rained, but they’re awfully pretty.

Woodrow Wilson Bridge Trail

This is one of my favorite trails in the area, it's safe and many of the walkers are friendly.

Nice Walking Trail, not great for cycling

June, 2026 by 6qgnhshmzc

The trail is a nice trail through the woods and connects to Rock Creek park.As others have mentioned, many people let their dog off leash and get annoyed when asked to leash their dogs. The trail is not good for cyclists as it is very rutted with many tree roots and easily flooded after heavy rains. The trail also has a very steep hill for most of it’s length.

Airbnb right on trail in Burgettstown

June, 2026 by dowiakp

Discovered this comfortable place with great accommodations for two bike travelers. They offer a pullout sofa if you do not wish to share a bed. Indoor bike storage with a comfy bed and a hot shower! Distillery right next-door and two restaurants to fuel up in the morning to get back on the trail. Close to the panhandle of West Virginia. Their name is Harmony Trail Haven on Airbnb.

This is one of the nicest trails out there. Lots of elevations changes and a nice brewery ( caboose brewery) along the way. I did the upper end a few weeks before and the lower end later. Lots of rest stops and bathrooms. Nice towns until you get to the dc area and it all looks the same.
