Heritage Rail Trail County Park

Trail Closed at Seven Valleys Overpass MM 11.5

May, 2025 by npe1jab

The overpass at mile marker 11.5 in Seven Valleys over PA Rt 214 is closed and Northbound trail users must descend an embankment next to the Four Springs Winery and ride through town to Church St to pick up the trail again. Southbound riders follow the same detour in reverse.

Western Maryland Rail Trail

completely resurfaced 5 star

April, 2025 by aldo_desalvo

I rode this for a second time recently. The trail is in great shape. I will they would add the path through the tunnel. Extending the trail over the three bridges would make this the best in the area. Not sure if that is a plan. Hancock is a great town. Very remote in little orleans

Western Maryland Rail Trail

Wmrt 2025 all repaved

April, 2025 by loisslong

This is my favorite paved trail. All the bumps and roots are gone since the repaving project was completed in fall 2024. Hancock is the town at about the middle mileage. The western end is quiet through the woods. There are very few road crossings and it's pretty flat grade. Berkeley Springs WV is only 6 miles south of Hancock MD and that's a cute tourist town to visit. There's also a good bike store in Hancock.

Great American Rail-Trail

Warden to Lind

April, 2025 by howmarplus3

Ok section, kind of dull. Agriculture & cows. Found a bit of shade by a grain elevator for lunch. Several washouts filled with tumbleweeds as you get closer to Lind.

Hanover Trolley Trail

Amazing so far

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

This trail is outstanding so far. Still a lot of work to be done, but wow.

Broad Street Greenway

Well-maintained and growing

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

This is a great urban trail. Lots of road-crossings, as you can expect being in the city. Note that the parking listed on the map is private; I had to park on Edgar St. I also found an unlisted expansion to the south.

Hollow Creek Greenway

Good short trail

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

It’s a nice little trail. Notice: the only restroom is mid-way at the Water St. cul-de-sac.

Heritage Rail Trail County Park

For as long as I bike, I will ride this trail.

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

This trail is straight-up amazing. I have nothing else to say.

Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail

Don’t go in January

March, 2025 by tnbpptw5x7

I tried to do this trail in segments in January. The snow melts way slower on the trail than in other unplowed places. I also think the grades in the northern parts are tough.

Harpers Ferry Railroad Bridge

Difficult but doable for cyclists

February, 2025 by luv2bike23

The railroad bridge appears to be the only way to access the C&O Canal Towpath directly from Harpers Ferry. It's narrow and congested in the warmer months, and walking a bike across the bridge can be challenging. More difficult is the tight spiral staircase descending to the towpath from the bridge. It's not exceptionally strenuous with a light bicycle but I wouldn't attempt it with a heavy E-bike. Once at the bottom, the towpath is a beautiful cycling experience and it's also an easy walk to the Maryland Heights trail with its Civil War fortifications and fantastic overlook of Harpers Ferry.

Cumberland Valley Rail Trail

Peaceful and straight

December, 2024 by terriannjma_tl

It was a foggy damp day. Very light traffic on the trail except in Shippensburg. Very, very well maintained! Some of the gravel is deeper in areas than others, which when wet causes substantial drag on the tires. Total of 26 1/2 miles from end to end as out and back.
