Rock Creek

Highlight • River

Rock Creek winds through the forest, even passing near downtown Bethesda. A paved multi-use path follows alongside, weaving through the woods and connecting several parks—a nice, shaded stretch for an easy ride.

Crossing Over the C&O Canal

Highlight • Bridge

It's just a shame that cycling is only allowed on the paved road. The many earthy trails to the right and left of the road are very tempting for a mountain biker. Unfortunately explicitly forbidden.

Fishing Shore Beach

Highlight • Beach

Nestled beside the Capital Crescent Trail, this cozy fishing beach along the Potomac River invites cyclists to stop and recharge. A perfect spot to take a breather from your ride.

Cherry Blossoms on Rokeby Avenue

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

After the steep climb up and over the train tracks at Garret Park, follow quiet Rokeby Ave. The upper section is lovely in the spring when the cherry blossoms are out.
