Yesterday we stumbled upon a brand new-to-us bike trail going from the White Flint Metro area to the very heart of old downtown Bethesda.
Some section are on roads through residential neighborhoods and the worst part was on the sidewalk along Old Georgetown past the NIH. But the rest was pristine trail pavement going through leafy areas. There are also 2 nice overpasses over I-270 and I-495. I gleefully waved to the stop and go traffic below as we zoomed past, all downhill.
There are still more development planned on this pretty new trail: additional trail markers, map kiosks, wayside reststops, etc. yet it's already a very convenient trail and for the time being, one of DC's best kept secrets.
Here are the original pdfs with
the full map and interesting historical info.
