Little Gunpowder Falls is how Maryland does mountain bike flow! The fast single track will have you smiling from ear to ear. And if you need a little more spice there are plenty of trail side features throughout to keep you on your toes. In fact, I think this place will be ideal for riders of all skill levels. Check out the “Trail Details” below to learn more.

Trail Detail:
I was fortunate to get a tour from my buddy Zané from @splooshmtb who showed me what this place was all about. The tight hard packed single track makes you feel like you are on a roller coaster and will push your limits depending on your comfort with speed. The trail side features ranged from difficult to intermediate giving folks a chance to progress their MTB skills.
Route Suggestions:
I was pretty happy with the route Zané took me on, so I don’t have any route suggestions. However, if you were looking for a shorter ride you could easily chop off the first 3 miles. Also, if you parked at the lots off Bottom Rd that would give you a more central starting location and allow you to trim down the routes even further. Regardless I left my Strava and Trailforks down below so you can get an idea for mileage and elevation.

I also created a custom Mountain Bike Maryland T Shirt, so rep the state you ride, and help a channel grow.
