    We found coffeee!

    This paved trail is so cool to be on. You can walk, bike, and run while enjoying what Mother Nature has to offer. This trail is connected to the many communities of Anne Arundel County. It is Dog friendly! Get your walk on !

    Borrowed pup at the Eminem mile marker

    Took a borrowed dog here this past Saturday because the weather was gorgeous in late November. Not a ton of parking spaces at the Earleigh Heights lot, but still snagged one (probably about 15-20 spaces, but 2 are for park rangers only). The path is completely paved and was used by majority bike riders. This made it a little difficult at times when they would be passing me and the dog on both directions at the same time. There are parts of the trail that are more narrow. Trash cans and benches are located throughout and they have a free doggy doo bag dispenser at this entrance. Overall really good for biking, rollerblading, skateboarding or anything on wheels as the paved path is mostly flat.

    Took this trail recently from Glen Burnie to Annapolis on my bike. Most of it is freshly paved. Because I made this trip in the winter, there weren't too many people on the trail but there were some. The trail will take you to just outside of Annapolis and then there is a bike lane that parallels the road. You can follow that into Annapolis and past the naval academy.

    I go here 3 or 4 times a week when the weather is nice. There are lots of bikers, joggers and walkers. I hide some of my painted rocks for my rock group Anne Arundel County Rocks! I usually find some rocks out there, especially at Earleigh Heights Station. That's a good place to visit, lots of parking.

    Great place to walk and clear your head. However, keep to the right and be mindful of joggers and bikes.

    Great trail. Can get really crowded and you can't go more than 20 mph. Good for training and endurance. Will visit more this spring.

    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!

    I'm so glad to finally be able to write a review on this place. It was so hard to find for me. But…read moreit was totally worth the trouble. It was an amazing hike.

Every few miles there are porta potties and picnic tables if you need to use the toilet, rest or have a snack. There are some benches along the trail if you need to sit down or just take in the view of nature. We've started at several locations along the trail and from the trail heads. Often striking up conversations with others that are there to exercise or just enjoy the nature. Every one we have encountered has been friendly. The nature is really something else. The wildlife is really cool, we see something new every time such as Cow, deer, snakes, turtles, various birds species, fish, squirrels, beavers and other little things like dragon flies and butterflies. The trail is a nice break and I highly suggest it to anyone that wants a enjoyable place to ride,walk, run.

    Great Bike Trail. It's also a walking and jogging trail. I love that it's secluded and there isn't…read moremuch access to the main roads from the trail. I've been coming here for quite a few years and have never had any problems. The paths are very clean and a lot of trees surrounding. Everyone is friendly and when crossing the main roads the cars will slow down and drivers are very vigilant on keeping an eye out. There are many landmarks and a lot of beautiful animals all over. Deer, Rabbits, many different sized dragon flies, turtles, snakes and we saw an Eagle before. The animals keep their distance and if you leave them alone your safe. Yesterday my watch said I rode for 25.30 miles one way and we didn't even reach the end. Love this area

    Not a reflection of the trail as a whole, but when I stopped back on this occasion I was dismayed…read more It was one thing during the peak of the COVID era when there were signs up saying this trail was to be undertaken in one direction only. People were throwing around all sorts of silly rules out of desperation in those days. I doubt any lives were saved by this; maybe the theory was to reduce human contact but realistically, we're talking about hiking in open air. Public health aside, I return to find even now there are still signs saying to take the trail one way. And having done it both ways many times, it's the wrong way! Absurd. Supposedly there's some justification, but I think that grown adults can figure out how to hike in two directions without running into each other. As an overall natural resource, it remains a gem (though it must be noted that the Billy Goat B trail downstream is currently closed due to damage). But whoever is making these stupid rules shouldn't be in the business of making rules at all. Thankfully some rebels were taking the trail in the northernly direction, as well they should.

    I really enjoy this hike because it has great views and is an interesting hike. The first half…read moreinvolves hiking on the rocks overlooking the Potomac River. It has some rock scrambles which keep my kids interested in the hike. After you finish hiking "section A", you get spit out on the towpath and it's an easy walk on gravel next to the C and O canal. Total mileage is 3.9 miles. It took my 6 and 8 year old 3 hours to complete the hike including breaks.
