The Maryland-National Capital Park & Planning Commission's guide to the trails of Montgomery County - East Coast Greenway (under construction, Maine to Florida)
The East Coast Greenway will be the nation's first long- distance, city-to-city, multi-modal transportation corridor for cyclists, hikers, and other non-motorized users. The goal is to connect existing and planned trails that are locally owned and managed to form a continuous, safe, green route. - Great Allegheny Passage in Maryland
The Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) rail-trail offers 135 miles of hiking and biking between Cumberland, MD, and Duquesne, PA, near Pittsburgh. In Cumberland, the GAP joins the C&O Canal Towpath, creating a continuous trail experience, 320 miles long, to Washington, DC. - Fairfax Trails and Streams
In heavily-developed Fairfax County, stream valleys are our last opportunity to create a long network of interconnected off-road trails. Yet such trails, where they exist at all, are fragmented and disconnected. Fairfax Trails and Streams (FTAS), a grassroots trail and environmental advocacy group, aims to create this network, and help protect the watershed. Our primary projects are the Pimmit Run Trail in McLean and theCross County Trail (CCT). - National Battlefield Park (Manassas, VA)
In the summer of 1861, enthusiastic volunteers in colorful uniforms gathered to fight the first major land battle of the American Civil War. Nearly one year later, both sides met again on the same battlefield. - Capital Crescent Trail
The Capital Crescent Trail (CCT) is a shared use off-road trail from Georgetown, D.C. to Silver Spring, MD suitable for walkers, joggers, bikers, and rollerbladers. The CCT is built upon the abandoned railbed of the 11 mile Georgetown Branch of the B&O Railroad. - C&O Canal Towpath
