Family friendly bike trails
Here are some family-friendly, local bike trails:
The Baltimore and Annapolis Trail (B&A) is a nice trail for the whole family. This trail is part of the East Coast Greenway. The trail has about an 8-foot wide paved surface and is in good condition. The total length is 13 miles between Annapolis and Glen Burnie, MD. Once you reach the northern terminus, a short connector path will take you over to the recently completed BWI Trail.
In September 2001, Queen Anne’s County opened a nice little trail running across Kent Island. The Cross Island Trail starts in the Terrapin Nature Area (located directly across the bay from Sandy Point Beach) and runs all the way to Kent Narrows.
The BWI Trail surrounds the BWI Airport. The next time you are out near BWI Airport, you might like to check out the area’s newest trail. Designed primarily with commuters in mind, the 11 mile BWI trail is also an excellent recreation facility.
The 184.5 mile long Chesapeake & Ohio Canal is located along the north bank of the Potomac River, starting in Washington, DC and ending in Cumberland, MD.
