Patapsco & Baltimore Mountain Bike Trail Conditions

Patapsco Valley State Park runs a long ribbon of riding along the river southwest of Baltimore — flowing singletrack, steep ravine climbs and rocky river-level trails. Piedmont clay and schist hold water and the park closes trails when wet, but the valley drains fast once the rain stops.
