BWI Trail and Baltimore & Annapolis Trail
Glen Burnie, Md., to Annapolis, Md.
BWI: 12.5-mile loop (paved); B&A: 13.3 miles one way (paved)
These two paths, located just south of Baltimore, provide local cyclists with 25.8 miles of uninterrupted off-street cycling. The B&A Trail connects Annapolis in the south to Glen Burnie in the north, where it meets the BWI Trail at Dorsey Road. The B&A is the center of a 66-foot wide corridor of parkland, with several access points and numerous businesses catering to the trail’s visitors, making the path a great family destination.

Though lacking some of those conveniences, the surprisingly remote BWI Trail passes through several ecologically sensitive areas where the paved path gives way to wooden bridges—all despite the proximity to Baltimore-Washington International Airport’s busy runways. Several parking areas are available along the B&A Trail, while the BWI Trail can be accessed via public transportation in multiple locations, including the Linthicum and Cromwell light rail stations and the BWI MARC/Amtrak station. Both paths are conveniently located just 10 miles from Baltimore and 30 miles from Washington, D.C.
