Ride Summary:
Varied but not overly challenging singletrack trails.
Trail Description:
The trail starts at the Clearwater Nature Center. From the parking lot take trail A and then a left on trail B. Continue on B passing C on the right and taking D which follows the creek. D turns into trail F with a sharp right. F goes straight along the boundary of the park. After a gentle right hand turn F connects with G below power lines. When you come to Thrift Road, take a left and follow the trail past the pavilion. Take H along the lake taking a left on C and another left on I which will take you back to B. From here find your way back to A and the start or do another loop!
How to get there:
From Washington D.C. take route 5 South to Woodyard Road. Follow briefly and take a left on Brandywine and then a right onto Thrift Road. This will take you to the park entrance. From the entrance head towards the Clearwater Nature Center. This is where the ride starts.
Additional Notes:
There are several other trails to explore. Do the loop once then make up your own route. The park is not huge but there are many trails that crisscross offering various routes.

if you are a beginner or havent ridden for a while this trail is for you. good for getting your wind up for trails like avalon. lots of logs and creek crossings. a couple of moderately steep inclines and a few realy short ones but these are full of loose dirt, leaves and slick roots. if you are close its great to do after work and develope skills for trails you see in magazines.all trails lead back to the park. terribly messy after rain. my friends and i usually ride for 1-1/2 to 2 hours.
