Gnome Garden on the NCR Trail

Highlight • Structure

Just off the trail is a pretty outrageous gnome garden. The art installation is really well made and a must-see if you are on the trail! There is a drink and snack station that uses the honor system.

East Coast Greenway — Maryland

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The East Coast Greenway is a 3,000-mile biking and walking trail stretching from Maine to Florida. In Maryland, it covers 163 miles, with 61 miles dedicated to bike paths and the rest on roads shared with vehicles. Highlights include the Jones Falls Trail into Baltimore, the Torrey C. Brown Trail, and the B&A Trail leading to Annapolis. The route traverses historic towns along the Chesapeake Bay. Notably, there is no pedestrian access over the Hatem Bridge for the Susquehanna River crossing, requiring careful planning for bikers.

Glencoe Road metal bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

If you're cycling in the area or on the Torrey C. Brown Trail, you'll likely pass by this spot where there's a metal deck bridge over the Gunpowder Falls. Although it's not possible to stop in the middle to enjoy the views over the river as cars are passing and it's a single-lane bridge, on one side, there's a small area with grass where you can take a short break.
