This is a popular trail with mountain bikers, be alert as you hike.

Description

Parking: There is parking at either end of this trail. The Marriottsville Rd. 2 entrance has a small lot for 4-5 cars. The Marriottsville Rd. parking lot has enough parking for 10+ cars.

This trail has a little bit of everything: rocks, roots, rolling climbs, and descents as the trail alternates between tight singletrack and open doubletrack. There are several exits which can be seen via other trails labeled Way Out 1 and Way Out 2.

You'll also travel just below the Liberty Reservoir dam, which holds back approximately 48 billion gallons of water. It's an impressive sight.
