Confirmed from Gwynn Falls Trailhead Windsor Mill Rd'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.

“Very beautiful and peaceful.”

Update June 2024. Hooray! Major improvements and maintenance to the trail. It has been cleaned up, repaved in the rougher areas, bridges resurfaced, and bike friendly gates to pass through. Greatly appreciated from a long-time user. Surprising tranquil and remote feeling hike & bike trail in Baltimore.

★★★★★ — Jay , Jun 2024

I had no idea this lovely place existed! I cant believe I've never been here. Apparently the space known as Druid Hill/Gwynn Falls/Leakin Park is bigger than Central Park!

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
