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 five (5) sections and six (6) Trailhead Stations:
- From Edgeley Grove Park (Annie’s Playground) to Tollgate Road is 1.4 miles.
- From Tollgate Road. to Williams St. is 1.85 miles.
- From William St to North Ave Station is 1.25 miles
- From North Ave Station to Blakes Venture park is 1.5 miles (Under Construction)
- Blakes Venture to Friends park is 1.75 mile.
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. The finally section of the trail is scheduled to begin construction in the fall of 2024.
