Our Harford County Sheriffs Foundation stepped up and assisted us with an immediate police operational need. The Sheriff’s Foundation purchased a Gator which will be used to patrol sections of the Ma Pa trail. The Gator will allow Deputies to increase patrol coverage on the trail and quickly respond to incidents. Currently, the Sheriff’s Office has one Gator which is housed at the Southern Precinct in Edgewood and is detailed out for Agency needs and police operations.
Detectives are still asking for your help! If you saw or know anything no matter how large or small please contact us.
If you were on the Ma & Pa Trail on Saturday, or near the trail or trail heads and took photos or video, we are asking if you would please share them with investigators. There could be something helpful in one of your photos that might bring us one more piece of the puzzle.
If you would have a photo or video to share, please send it to Sgt. Maddox at maddoxc@harfordsheriff.org.
As of this morning, we have already received over 200 tips from concerned community members in reference to the murder of Rachel Morin. Thank you for all the support you have given to the Sheriff’s Office and our community.

Welcome
Thank you for coming to the MA & PA Heritage Trail webpage! Please consider supporting our trail by volunteering or becoming a member. More information can be found on our Membership webpage.
The MA & PA Heritage Trail is located on portions of the former Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad corridor in Bel Air and Forest Hill, Maryland. Our nonprofit organization, The MA & PA Heritage Trail, Inc, strives to make the MA & PA Trail the best place to walk, run and bike in Harford County! Currently, the trail consists of a 3.3-mile section in Bel Air and a 1.7-mile segment in Forest Hill. Recently, in partnership with the Town of Bel Air, Harford County has acquired an easement for a small stretch of land that will finally allow for the connection of its Bel Air and Forest Hill sections. The eventual connection will result in a nearly 8-mile long trail that runs through the heart of Bel Air.
News articles regarding the Trail Connection can be found on our new “In the News” webpage. Watch a short video about the connection by following this link. For more trail-related photos, news and events, please like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
