Confirmed from Baltimore-Annapolis Trail End's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Baltimore-Annapolis Trail End
I have done a lot of biking in DC but I was pleasantly surprised at how wide and flat this trail was and it was pretty low traffic even midday on a weekend. It was luscious and green with pit stops for air pressure fillups and snacks along the way at local businesses.
A great long distance bike if you go to the end and back (~32 miles) and without too much uphill and downhill. You can also combine this with the BWI trail for a longer (~40 miles or ~50 if done twice) and more strenuous trip.
Convenient, long trail in the heart of a suburban neighborhood. This is not a quiet trail because it's by a main road. You will hear frequent traffic. But it's perfect for anyone desiring a long hike, casual walk or bike ride.
Great ride but beware there are a lot of intersections and lots of people on trail on weekends.
