If you following the trail from one street to the other it's only about a third of a mile long. There is a new foot bridge there now parallel to Rodman which leads out to Connecticut Ave through an alleyway (the trail continues on the east side of Connecticut leading into the main part of Rock Creek Park). Due to its limited size it seems to be generally quiet. Not a bad place to take a short stroll or as an alternate to walking on Connecticut Ave if you just want to escape into the woods for a moment.

The entire loop is about 4 miles I believe. There's always plenty of parking and I typically will go by the wharf side to park near the sidewalk instead of one of the lots closer to the Jefferson memorial. During the spring time you can see the cherry blossoms blooming here. When you get past the golf course the trail doesn't allow for cars so that you can freely walk or bike on the road. Highly recommend checking Hains Point/East Potomac Park out if you need a day to frolic for free.99 lol

L'Enfant was a major architect of the federal capital. He envisioned neighborhood circles as spaces that would serve as open spaces for public gatherings that would be surrounded by homes and communities. It was nice to be able to soak in the ambiance on a steamy summer morning walk in Washington, D.C.

For context, this space used to be a road that ran through the a valley below most of the…read moreneighborhood. However, the stream that runs through the valley made the ground under the road unstable, and the road was closed for decades. The whole area was abandoned, and after debates on what to do with the space, a trail was constructed where the road used to be. The trail runs just less than a mile. The surface is very nice, but I am rather puzzled as to what we're supposed to do with this trail. Neither end of the trail has much going on, and the number of people trying to traverse it on a regular basis would only be locals from Cleveland Park try to go to Rock Creek, but it's hard to access that end due to the private school and other buildings that effectively block it off. There's no connection to Connecticut Avenue, which I kind of understand simply because it would have been expensive to build stairs down from the bridge several stories above, but the trail is completely inaccessible to the main thoroughfare in the area. Also, despite being near the zoo, the zoo has no entrance anywhere near the trail's end (which frankly has always been a flaw as the zoo forces traffic towards more crowded residential areas; it should always have had an entrance on Klingle when there was a road). The trail is also notable for being very well lit; with streetlights close together lining the entire trail. It's very noticeable when you look down from the Connecticut Avenue bridge above at night. However, given how both ends of the trail have very few people and the police would have real trouble getting to this trail, I would not go on it after dark, regardless of how light it is. It seems unsafe. All of which is to say that while I'm glad they finally did something, there's not much to recommend the trail as of yet. Soapstone Valley is similar, nearby, and a much nicer walk. I do have some hope that the trail will become more useful in the future, but it isn't much of a destination at present.

Was actually driving to Glover Archbold Park when I saw this, the Klingle Vallery Trail. I thought…read morethat this was do. I didn't know the size of this park but it looked like fun. While reading about decommisioned Subway stations in New York I decided to look into what we may have here along those lines. What I found out about Klingle Road and how there are portions of it which are not longer open to vehicular traffic. That explains some of the trail but Klingle Valley Trail still confuses me. There's this whole Tregaron Conservancy business which I cannot explain. When you walk the trail you'll see what I mean. I loved how green everything was around me and the stream added to the experience. You could easily knock this out in an hour but with the amound of benches, you could also spend an entire day here because the amout of canopy above keeps the humidity at bay. Hopefully, next time I will better understand where Klingle Valley Trail begins and Tregaron Conservancy ends.

This isn't a quiet spot. You here all the traffic. It's not a good place for kids. There's no playground. It does inspire you a bit. Oh say where's that Star Spangled Banner writer's park at?

But I also start at Carderock for a change or if that is how the race is set up. I don't do much in the park itself. But I see it is a lovely, underused facility (which I don't want to ruin). There is, as people have mentioned, a military facility nearby. I wonder as I drive around, if they are conducting surveillance or if you'd get in trouble for doing something such as taking photographs. I've never had an issue though, if you were wondering. I have gotten lost, however, because it's not quite clear (and GPS is not precise) how you get to where you want to go once you take the exit. I recommend Carderock highly for a hike. I believe it also is a nice place to hang out, even if you don't get to the trail (but why would you go here and not at least take a gander at the water).
