The Stoney Run trail will be a 4-mile path for both bikes and pedestrians, stretching from Historic Elkridge to the BWI Trail.  It will be designed to be comfortable and accessible for a wide range of people. 

The northern part of this trail will connect with the Patapsco Regional Greenway: Elkridge to Guinness Open Gate Brewery section at Main Street and Furnace Avenue. On the southern end, it will connect with the existing BWI Trail at Stoney Run Road. 

The Stoney Run trail will become another part of the Patapsco Regional Greenway and connect to existing multi-use trails. This will expand the network of regional paths for biking and walking. Learn more and check out the maps and more details in our story map.

This project is a collaboration involving the Baltimore Metropolitan Council, Anne Arundel County, Howard County,  the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, and you! 

We need input from the community to shape the vision for this trail. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts on our survey below or use one of the ways to comment on the share your thoughts tab.
