WB&A Trail

 WB&A Trail
 
The WB&A Trail is a planned paved recreational trail from Odenton to the Patuxent River on the abandoned Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad right of way. The mainline is 5.7 miles in length with many community connections. A spur, referred to as Phase IV runs from Strawberry Lake Way at the mainline up to Annapolis Road. Half of this is existing and extends for 1.6 miles. When complete, the project will link the South Shore Trail in Odenton with the Patuxent River and an existing rail trail in Prince George's County. In addition to the regional benefits of the WB&A Trail, it is also a critical component of the East Coast Greenway and the American Discovery Trail.
 

WB&A Trail is open dawn to dusk. 

NOTICE: Your Traffic Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works will review the WB&A Trail crossing at Patuxent Road and Bragers to evaluate potential strategies to improve ped/bike and vehicular safety, which were concerns raised at our recent public meeting. Thank you for helping us make your community a better place.
