Embark on an easy road cycling journey along the BWI Trail, a paved loop spanning 11.1 miles (17.9 km) with a gentle elevation gain of 300 feet (92 metres). This route offers a unique blend of scenery, from green spaces and wooded sections to glimpses of a horse farm. You can complete this ride in about 54 minutes, making it an ideal choice for a quick and accessible outing where you might even catch sight of aircraft taking off and landing.
Accessing the BWI Trail is straightforward, with multiple entry points available. Ample parking can be found at locations such as the Thomas A. Dixon, Jr. Aircraft Observation Area, providing a convenient starting point for your ride. If you prefer public transport, the Linthicum Light Rail Station offers another easy way to reach the trail and begin your road cycling adventure.
The BWI Trail stands out for its direct views of aviation activity, particularly from the Thomas A. Dixon, Jr. Aircraft Observation Area, which adds an interesting dimension to your ride. You can also discover local history along the way by spotting the historic Benson-Hammond House. For those looking to extend their journey, the trail connects to the Baltimore & Annapolis (B&A) Trail via the John Overstreet Connector Trail, opening up options for longer rides.
