Baltimore & Annapolis Trail
The B&A Trail, as it is more commonly referred as, is a trail for the whole family!

The path guides you through parks, suburban neighborhoods, and natural wooded areas. Also, you will come across historical markers, shopping centers, and picnic areas. As you’re passing through, onlookers will get a glimpse of the memorable Planet Walk. This is a museum sponsored by NASA, featuring educational displays that teach you about the planets in the Solar System. Also, there is an annual Half Marathon that starts at Severna Park H.S. that runs through the path.
