The Suitland Parkway trail is a short paved multi-use path that runs adjacent to Suitland Parkway in SE D.C. to the border with Maryland. Proposed construction may extend the trail to the Branch Avenue Metro Station in Prince George's County, Maryland (near Andrews Air Force Base), but these plans seem to be on hold for now.
The trail is accessible from the intersections of Pomeroy and Sheridan Rd SE, Stanton and Suitland Parkway SE, and Irving and Suitland Parkway SE.
nothing more to say: this trail is unrideable! it was paved once -- poorly! -- when it was built and then left to decay. it connects nowhere to noplace. why is it on this list? it also goes through one of the most dangerous areas in the country --consult the evidence: ward 7 and ward 8 of Washington dc. consult the many crime maps produced by the washington post newspaper: http://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/local/homicides/
