The Cabin John Trail runs along Cabin John Creek from Goya Dr. till the Potomac River. The north loop is flowy with few technical challenges. The rest of the trail is rocky and rooty on some of the descents and climbs, while other parts are flat, without and rocks or roots. Parts of the trail near the creek dry slowly, so expect some muddy areas. An excellent trail for beginners looking for a challenge. Proceed with caution at the numerous road crossings. However, it should be said that the parts of the trail along the road have a comfortably wide shoulder, and most of the roads are minor arteries.

Parking exists at most road crossings
