Bike racks dedicated on National Trails Day

 

Saturday is National Trails Day , and in its honor, the Gwynns Falls Trail is getting some new bike racks and a new trail audio tour.

(There are lots of trail day events, if you're looking for one somewhere else in Maryland.)

On the Gwynns Falls, Sen. Ben Cardin will be on hand Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Baltimore Visitors Center, 401 Light St. He'll be joined by officials from the Gwynns Falls Trail Council and Baltimore City Parks & Recreation. 

Donation were used to purchase the bike racks. They will be installed at the Baltimore City Visitors Center, where the Gwynns Falls Trail, the Jones Falls Trail and the Harbor Promenade meet.

The Gwynns Falls trailhead is at the I-70 Park & Ride and generally follows the Gwynns Falls watershed to the Middle Branch the Patapsco River and the Inner Harbor. It's about 30 miles.
