Henson Creek Trail

Trail Description:
This trail is just over 6 miles and seems to be maintained fairly well. It goes through woods and crosses some streets that can have somewhat heavy traffic at times. Some parts of it are a bit hilly and there are a few blind turns (careful when wet!). Ends are at Oxon Hill Road and Temple Hill Road. I don't know the elevation gain but towards Oxon Hill Road is where it gets hilly. Nothing too tough though.

How to get there:
The best place to park is probably on Tucker Road near the middle of the trail. Take I-95 to exit 3A. Stay on 210 (Indian Head Highway) a few lights until Palmer Road - make a left. After a couple of miles turn left onto Tucker Road and go about 1 mile. There is a place on the right with a lot of parking available. The trail goes through the back of this parking lot for around 2.5 miles, and if you make a left from the parking lot there is a community center on the right. Go through this parking lot to find the rest of the trail.
