This is a wonderful trail, which starts off in Annapolis, and goes all the way to BWI airport. It is well traveled, and well maintained. There is a ranger station at the half way point, with restrooms and information. There is a stop for viewing airplanes as they come in for a landing, along the way. You are able to... More

Bikers of all levels can enjoy this 26 miles (approx) of old rail road bed for excersize as well as the flora and fauna that abound. Accomplished riders all the way to newly off training wheels will find all or part of the trail useful for their particular style of biking. More

The bike trail is very busy on the weekends. If you can take a weekday to explore the trail, you won't regret it. Be sure to take plenty of fluids. Relax and explore the various neighborhoods that the trails runs through. The trail does cross over some heavily travelled roads, so be sure to stop at the signs. One end... More

The B & A Trail is well used especially during the spring, summer and fall months. It is kept nicely groomed and it is a relaxing wallk or ride to Annapolis. More

I love raiding and walking on the B&A. It takes about three hours to ride from Glen Burnie to the Severn River bridge and back. Longer if you opt to ride over the bridge into Annapolis, which I recommend. However, the streets can get very congested on the weekends. More

If you want to walk or run, be careful. Many bikes. A casual ride could last all day. All paved and mostly trees. Many food and drink stops the entire distance. Pack a lunch or bring money for subs. Watch for the dogy poo if you leave the trail. Many people walk their dogs and leave their poo for your... More

The trail itself is maintained very well. If you ride the trail from just outside of Annapolis up to and around BWI airport, you will cover forty miles. The Annapolis end of the trail is surrounded by very nice wooded neighborhoods. The end of the trail that circles the airport is fun, with two spots to stop and watch the... More

It's a nice place for a casual bike ride. Too many distractions for a road racer (side streets, hikers, blind curves). Along some stretches, there are groups of youngsters just hanging(they live there), just be polite and go by. There are also some nice little places to get an ice cream or a snack. More
