Trail Conditions: Use Extra Caution on Leaf-Covered Trails

Fallen leaves make trails slick - use extra caution whether walking, running, or cycling.

Trail Water Service Shut Off for Winter

Contractors have begun winterizing trail water fountains and turning off water service until spring. Please plan ahead and bring your own drinking water.

South Shore Trail is Open Dawn to Dusk

The South Shore Trail mainly uses the abandoned road bed of the WB&A Railroad between Annapolis and Odenton. The trail will connect with the Colonial Annapolis Maritime Route on the east end and the WB&A Trail on the west. 

This new stretch transforms an 1840s railroad corridor into a modern, multi-use greenway and connects to three major trail networks: the American Discovery Trail, the East Coast Greenway, and the September 11th National Memorial Trail.
