Paper Mill Rd. Cockeysville , MD 21030 United States
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 .
Voted Best Place to go Biking by City Paper Readers for Best of Baltimore 2011

Great place for a run. Nice and flat
