Maryland Parks

Located near Upper Marlboro, MD, Rosaryville State Park is only 1/2 hour from DC and 1 hour from Baltimore. The trail system consists of a main loop that is about 11 miles in length and some additional double track and single track trails that branch off of this loop.

The Seneca Creek Greenway is a 26 mile trail that follows the beautiful Great Seneca Creek. The 16 mile southern section of the trail is limited to hiking only, and is primarily located within Seneca Creek State Park. The 9 mile northern section (beginning at Rt. 355) is open to biking, equestrian and hiking. This section is easy single track with some intermediate sections. It continues on into Magruder Branch and Damascus Parks as a paved trail.

Located in Seneca Creek State Park, the Clopper Lake area offers a variety of activities including fishing, hiking, biking, and picnicking. Several natural surface trails are located in this section of the park, including a 3 1/2 mile single track trail that winds its way around Clopper Lake. In addition, the 26 mile Seneca Creek Greenway trail can be accessed from the Clopper Lake area. (Note that the Greenway is hiking-only within Seneca Creek State Park.)

Part of Seneca Creek State Park, the Schaeffer Farm trail system was built with mountain bikers in mind. The smooth, hard packed trail surface through gorgeous open forests and farmland are a true pleasure to ride. The gently rolling terrain makes for a variety of climbs, fun descents, and many trails etched into hillsides with wonderful views of the surrounding forest. MORE does an outstanding job of maintaining the trails at Schaeffer Farms.
