WB&A Trail Park

Phase two of the WB&A Trail Park is now open for the public’s enjoyment. Phase two extends the current WB&A Trail an additional one and a half miles from Strawberry Lake Way south to Bragers Road. The WB&A Trail Park is a 3.8 miles paved trail beginning at the intersection of Piney Orchard Parkway and Odenton Road to the north and terminating at Bragers Road to the south. It follows the old WB&A Railway right of way. The WB&A Trail is open dawn to dusk.

Park Facilities

	Restrooms
	Restroom facilities are available at Gambrills Odenton Recreational Council (GORC) Park adjacent to Field #6. For directions to GORC Park see below.

	Parking and Directions
	There are two parking lots on the BWI Trail. The first is the Thomas A. Dixon Observation Area and the second is Saw Mill Creek Park. Because it’s only about a mile from the end of the B&A Trail, the lot in Glen Burnie is also a viable option.

From the parking lot go left (south) on the Strawberry Lake Way Bicycle Path, which parallels Strawberry Lake Way, for six-tenths of a mile to where the Strawberry Lake Way Bicycle Path intersects the WB&A Trail.
