This is a multi-use trail over diverse and unique terrain in Anne Arundel County on land owned by the City of Annapolis, all built and maintained by MORE volunteers. The southern trailhead is on Housley Road. The northern trailhead is on Honeysuckle Lane and is about 1.5 miles by road from the southern Bacon Ridge trailhead, allowing riders to combine both trail systems into an epic 30 mile plus adventure. The trail is located entirely outside of Waterworks Park, which is permit only.
This is a narrow single track style trail with a natural dirt surface, many turns, and elevation changes, similar to Bacon Ridge. It is not a paved path like the B&A Trail or other asphalt bike paths in Anne Arundel County.
