Trolley Line #9 Trail — Attraction in Maryland

The trail is paved and lovely. It is slightly uphill on the way out which gives you a nice little burn by the end, at least if you're pushing a stroller like I was. There are a few trails that could branch off the main paved route but none of them are stroller friendly, more like little paths in the woods.

The first time I went I was a little confused about where the trail started. There are steps that lead up the hill beside a bar/restaurant and if you have a stroller you would have to carry it up the stairs before the trail begins. But after that the path is clear and easy to follow. It was a really lovely path. It's picturesque and has only a handful of other people on it each time I've been.

I only stopped twice for 15mins during these 14 hours to have a quick bite to eat and some toilet breaks. To be honest, I could not walk for a week after that, but at least I found my limit and pushed at it for a bit. It’s good to test where your limits are, no matter what...

The trolley trail is a perfect out and back walking/running trail. The distance - just over a mile is an easy run downhill toward downtown Ellicott City, and then a moderately challenging slow incline back. The tail is wide and smooth. The scenery is serene, yet active enough to keep two toddlers entertained on our...
