Hi All,
Asking for some crowdsourced help to locate my best friends sister who is missing and known to frequent outdoor areas and trails. In addition to the name listed in the police report she also goes by "Hope". She poses no danger at all. Please take a look and keep an eye out. A tip was received that he was recently spotted on the Patuxent Branch Trail.

Thanks

I went this weekend to meet up with some friends to walk this trail. None of us had never been on this trail before. The website said parking was available at Millersville Elementary so we decided to meet there. There is no access to the trail from the school. We ended up going further down Millersville road to the trailhead. The parking lot was tiny -- three spaces -- two regular and one handicap. It is in the middle of nowhere and you need to back out onto the street to exit the parking lot. There is no way to turn around so you can see oncoming traffic. Better to start at the end by Millersville Rd and Rt 3. The parking lot is much bigger! Other than that the trail was lovely and clean. It was mostly level -- only one incline. I would walk this again but only from the Rt 3 end.
If your in the fairyland area I recommend parking in the parking lot right off old gunpowder.
Well maintained paved path. Beautiful scenery. Portable bathrooms along the way.
I thoroughly enjoy this trail, which takes you through a length of it that's like an urban park, then a part that's rocky and has swift moving waters, and towards the end a peaceful country road environment. The problem, however, is that the maintenance and upkeep is on parts of it is very poor.
First time getting back on my inline skates in years and it was nice to enjoy on a clean path with friendly faces. Everyone says “hello” or gives a warm smile when passing.
First ride today. A few places impacted by construction, but in great shape overall and quick ride from upper Northeast to NoMa. And wow, the street art along the way!
This is a mid-level bike trail with plenty of off trail single tracking. Most of the path is paved. There are some rough areas which is why I say, mid-level. Your gonna carry your $3000 road bike. I would have been very happy on my gravel bike, but I chose my fixed gear road bike. I know! I didn’t read reviews, and I’m kicking myself for it! But I still had an awesome time carrying some of the way.
We rode the entire trail from Cockeysville to New Freedom, PA on a perfect September Saturday. We could not have enjoyed this trail more than we did. There were lots of people using it today and everyone seemed to be able to carve out their own little slice of the trail.
I was just at the trail this tuesday 9/8/2020 and unfortunately most of the trail was closed due to maintenance. They have been repaving the trail and it's awesome !
They had no warning of this closure until I was about 3 miles into it, then the trail was blocked off and marked closed.
