    Easy parking for trail access (closes at dusk, but no gate and it's lit up). There's also access…read morefrom a few other spots. This is a 1-2 mile drive from Savage Mill. Trails are very well maintained and marked - almost too well (less of a wild feel). Only the very start is paved, don't despair, it gets more interesting. Decent circuit trail routes, can be added together for more mileage. I did a variation following the water which made my completed route 3.14 miles. Various bits of history tucked away in the young woodland- read up about the quarries and railroads if you're into local history. That's what those massive granite abutments (with no bridge to match) are all about. Lots of riverbank access. Decent number of toads on and near the trail at dusk. Road noise from I-95 on the western side but overall surprisingly peaceful escape from suburbia. This sort of open space is a major perk of living in Maryland.

    Very nice trail to hike, run, or mountain bike. My daughter and I hiked, and although it was a warm…read moreday, the canopy of the forest provided shade and comfort. We traveled down along the stream and at one point we took advantage of this beautiful backdrop and got some great pics. Beware, on this trail there are a lot of tree roots and rocks peeking from the ground and waiting to trip you. I know this because we tripped on more then one occasion:) The route is a loop and there are red and blue markings throughout the trail. At one point we were a little turned around, but the red markings and the "P" with and arrow directed us back to the parking lot. We truly enjoyed our hike and if you do the entire trail it's about 3.5 miles. Also, expect some elevation at points, but all in all I would say it's an easy to moderate trail to walk depending on your fitness level.

    The Trolley Trail is one of my favorite local hiking and/or walking trails. I mentioned both hiking…read moreand walking because you can go off the walking path and into deeper forest trails. There are also a few streams that are not roped off and you can go off the walking path down to the water. This trail has a lot of wildlife, including snakes, bunnies, ducks and deer, therefore, it is best that you keep your pets on a leash. There is one spot of the trail that is underneath a bridge and a lot of the dogs and cats get spooked due to the loud shaking noises. I frequent this trail a lot with my cat, Rune and we have never had an issue. It is very quiet and most of the people coming and going are incredibly respectful. The trail is easy to get to, and there is a lot of free parking, especially if you come early! At the beginning of the trail there is a café which is the perfect spot to grab a coffee, tea or a breakfast sandwich to enjoy on your walk!

    This is my favorite trail in Ellicott City. It's fairly easy, not too long and, surrounded by…read morebeauty. It's close to where I live so I often come here for a quick jog or hike. The difficulty level is very low; the trail is wide and most of it is paved. It's about three miles and there are markers every 1/2 mile. The view along the trail is absolutely beautiful during, it doesn't matter what time of the year you go. There's a stream which you easily can go down to. As for parking, there's a huge parking lot right at the start of the trail and since this trail isn't busy, it stays pretty empty. If you don't want a difficult hike and just want a relaxing walk, this is a great trail for that. Plus, it's great for kids and pets.

    CYCLING THE B&A TRAIL…read more The B&A trail is about 15 miles long and easily accessible via the parking lot on Route 450 (about 2 bikes north of the "old Severn River Bridge). The trail can get on the weekend (starting at 9am) and has a number of stop signs at the entrance to neighborhoods and at road crossings. This will interrupt your rhythm if you're a fast road bike. This is a multi-use trail with joggers, dog walkers, skaters and cyclists. It's easy to share this train with 2-way traffic .. 2 can cycle side-by-side and easily pass others. Plenty of places to stop for food and drink, especially as you near Severna Park.

    I think I'm in love!!! ha!…read more Going forward, THIS will be my favorite trail (until I find another)! While riding the BWI airport loop last week, I saw a sign for the B&A trail, so I knew I'd be here next. I still parked at the Thomas Dixon Observation Area and took the trail backwards (well, there's really no right way to take the Airport Loop, but the connection to the B&A is towards the end of the loop). Once I made it to the B&A connection, I had to ask myself, "Where have I been?" I could have been riding THIS trail the whole time! There's so much nature along the trail. Wetlands, native flowers, tons of bamboo, farmland, horses, etc. I love. Also, the trail is nice & flat with few bumps from raised roots. AND the areas that are raised are painted red so you can see them and prepare for the bump. WINNING! AND, there's a bathroom along the trail with a water fountain and bottle filler. The bathroom is air-conditioned, and I even had room to take my bike inside. It was spotless. It's a cute little orange house with benches in front & grass. Many people rest there. At that same spot there's also a contraption that has tools to fix your bike and an air pump. There are several rest areas along the way in the form of benches in the shade. There are also shops in the Severna Park area that cater to trial-goers. I saw a B&A Acai and Smoothie shop, The Bean Co, which I assume to be a coffee shop, and little sandwich shops. The trail is on the back side of the strip mall, but they have tables & chairs back there for trail patrons. I even saw a taproom if you'd like to stop for a beer. My mileage from the Thomas Dixon observation area to the end of the trail in Annapolis was 16 miles (32 roundtrip). You can get some good speed on the back half of the trail which seemed to be less populated. And I'm sure it's also less crowded during the week versus the weekends. It's a nice trail!

    Awesome trails that are well marked and we'll maintained. Don't get confused with Annapolis Rock…read morebeing down near Annapolis, MD and don't get confused over the Washington Monument that's out here too - we're in Myersville haha. Seriously my current favorite stretch of trails in the state of Maryland, you have the option of going to either vista(we did both when we were out there and added a few miles on another trail) and both views are awesome. Be prepared for some good elevation climb, I clocked our highest gain of being 1800 feet - felt hard core. Just doing either one of the trails will be a good trek and not overwhelming for any novice hiker. Doing both might be a bit much for those not well versed in walking for really long periods of time. Dog friendly, but please leash your creatures. All it takes is one friendly unleashed dog to run up to a not friendly leashed dog and then everyone's trail experience is ruined. We finished just shy of 15 miles for our day, and felt great! Annapolis Rock is the steeper climb albeit shorter at around 2.2 miles out then 2.2 miles back(4.4 mile hike). Washington Monument is an easier trail though it's a bit longer and around 3.5 miles out then 3.5 back. Highly recommend, super easy to find with the parking strip right off the road!
