Seneca Ridge Trail

Address: 16899 Riffle Ford Rd, Darnestown, MD 20878, USA

“NICE NICE NICE! Came on a warm May Saturday and there were 7 cars in the parking lot and in the street, atleast 5 people were fishing and the rest likely on the trail. I took the Ridge trail to Germantown road (no side walk/crossing) and walked up the road to the Seneca Creek Greenway and walked back against the creek. It was a bit scary to walk so close to traffic and I will be putting a suggestion to the park management to make the trip a bit more safe in the future. The trail was not too busy, mostly hikers and bikers. The ridge was busy with bikers while the Greenway was mostly quiet and had hikers. The ridge trail was clearly marked and clear of most hazards. The Greenway was more grassy and had sections that had some low grass. THERE WERE TICKS ON OUR PANTS, but what do you expect when hiking at this time of the year. Started at 7:30 came back at 12:30 and the parking lot was full - but still had space in the middle for creative parking and street side parking. Highly recommend for hikers and bikers.”
