Biking the Anacostia Tributary Trail System - College Park, Maryland (GoPro HERO9)

I used the GoPro HERO 9 Black's TimeWarp 3.0 feature to capture a recent bike ride along a portion of the Anacostia Tributary Trail System, which runs through Maryland and Washington DC. I started my ride at the Cherry Hill Road Community Park in College Park. The parking lot there is very small, but I was luckily able to find one open spot. On busy days, an easier place to park a bit further down the trail would be at the university parking lot next to the UMD Field Hockey and Lacrosse complex (that being said, I am not sure what the parking requirements are there/if you need a pass, so be sure to look into that ahead of time). The Cherry Hill Road Community Park connects directly to the start of the Paint Branch Trail. I rode the Paint Branch Trail down to Lake Artemesia and did a couple laps around the lake. From the southside of the lake, I then hopped over to the Indian Creek Trail, which eventually merges into the Bladensburg Trail. After cutting through the Mayfair neighborhood at the end of the Bladensburg Trail, I then hopped on to the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail for the remainder of the ride. The Riverwalk Trail eventually takes you over the Frederick Douglass Bridge into Navy Yard, which has plenty of places to grab a bite to eat. Aside from a couple very small gravel sections, the entirety of this ride was paved and out & back came out to about 40 miles total.

Cool video. It like that a lot of it is paved. The parts of the trail that I would not like are where you have to ride near cars. It helps if pedestrians don't block the trail as well. Thanks for posting.

Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it - yes, I agree / feel the same way. I am a fan of the sections that are paved and separated from road traffic. Luckily the segments on this trail where you are close to cars / have to bike on the road is minimal, but it would be great if they were able to make it 100% contained to a biking trail.
