20 mile flat and easy trail going from Hunt Valley to the PA state line ! From take York Rd North, go right on Ashland Road , bear left on Paper Mill .. about a mile there is a parking lot on the left!

start @ mile marker 2 then run to Monkton . Old train station has bathrooms and water fountains . up and back is around 10miles with some elevation . very scenic .

Be careful when you ride. The rich douche bags on horseback won't think twice when their animals drop 10lbs of crap on the trail .
