A Trail Full of Charm in Baltimore

- From the Washington Post

Where: Gwynns Falls Trail in Baltimore.

Why: What a hoot, architectural antiques and a stadium for the birds.

How Far: About 15 miles from start to finish.

Shhh, can you keep a secret? Gwynns Falls Trail.

"It's one of those well-kept secrets," says Alex Pilecki, a Baltimorean who exercises his greyhounds along the path in Leakin Park.
...
"When you're on it, you don't think you're in a city for much of the time," says Bob Moore, a member of the Gwynns Falls Trail Council, "because it's so parklike and so green."
...
"There are so many hidden treasures in this park and along the trail," says Michael Strawbridge, trail manager for the Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks.

And more could be coming. According to plans, the path will be connected to Maryland's popular BWI Trail within the next five years, and the stretch of waterfront between Kloman Street and the Patapsco River is slated for redevelopment. If that happens, the secret of Gwynns Falls Trail will certainly be out.
