Description: The Catoctin Blue trail, which is a great ride, pretty much bisects the area from north to south. However, the glory of this area is the myraid of offshoots that go every which way through the woods. There is everything from Gambrill-style cross-country to killer DH with major hucking opportunity, but ya' gotta look for it. There's something for everyone except novices. There are no mpas so hook up with a local or take the time to explore. You can spend many days here and not find it all. I'll be back as often as I can until I move out of the DC area. It's great to know there's a place I'll never outgrow. From the parking area in the directions, head North and have a great time!

Only got to explore about 2 miles of this trail system, but it is definitely full of challenges; it has some pretty rough rock gardens and it doesn't disappoint

Some of the best riding on the East coast in my opinion. Its by far the best riding in MD. Depending on what trails your riding, most of this area is not for beginers and will test the metal of your bike. Big climbs, big DH, lots of rocks and boulders, stream/ creek crossing, and tons of amazing views. These trails are not marked, othet than the Blue trail. There is a ton of stuff in this area, but you will need a guide or join one of the MORE club rides. Thats the local trail advocate group in MD/VA.

Advanced trail riding in Maryland. Trails are not well marked so bring a GPS or good maps. Terrain is rocky and old school trails, with straight up and straight down. Large drop offs with dismounts and hike a bikes. Not complaining, just explaining.

I rode this trail for the first time this past weekend...according to a few of the locals I spoke to at the trailhead we rode just a few of the trails that route through the woods. There are no markings on most of the trails but there is one main trail that all the trails seem to stem from and connect back to. That main trail alone is marked with blue paint. That trail connects to the trails at Gambrill State Park. All in all sweet epic singletrack. I will be back as many times I can this year!
