하워드 카운티 최고의 사이클링 경로

It gets very cold as you get close to Patapsco River near the bridge. The bridge does move a little but very secure as you cross it. Be mindful if you’re wearing a skirt (Ms Monroe)

This spot along Hardy Road has a scenic view of a rustic countryside.

Nice pedestrian bridge over the Little Patuxent River. It is popular with cyclists and walkers, so make sure you look out for other trail users.

This serene little pond is tucked out of the way but is well worth a side trip, especially if you have kids. There's a playground, a picnic area and a fishing pier. The woods around the lake are also a great place to spot wild birds, including the likes of the yellow-bellied sapsucker.

Lake Elkhorn is the third-largest lake in the county. It is surrounded by woodland and has several paved trails that run along the perimeter of the water.

The Lake Elkhorn loop trail is a paved trail that circles the lake with the same name. It is an easy trail and traffic free, so it is a great place for a recovery ride.

The Ilchester Road access point to the Ridge Trail offers a thrilling start for cyclists exploring Patapsco Valley State Park. Expect a steep, technical climb with rocky sections, rewarding you with flowing trails and forest views at the top. For a longer ride, connect to the Orange Grove area to enjoy smoother paths and cross the historic swinging bridge. Be prepared for limited parking and challenging terrain that tests both endurance and skill.

Centennial Lake is an attractive suburban lake that is open from 7:00 a.m. to dusk. There is a large paved path that goes around the lake that is popular with walkers, joggers, and cyclists. There is also a boat launch (but you need a boating permit), which is a popular spot for fishing.
