Ma and Pa Trail, Rail trail in Harford County, Maryland, United States
The Ma and Pa Trail extends through 7 miles of varied terrain, connecting Edgeley Grove Park in Bel Air to Friends Community Park in Forest Hill.
The trail follows sections of the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad corridor, which operated freight and passenger services from the late 1800s until the 1950s.
Trail signs present information about local railroad heritage and environmental features, while volunteers maintain the pathways through regular monitoring and cleaning activities.
The gravel surface trail includes multiple trailhead stations, parking areas at Edgeley Grove and Friends Park, with access points near Harford Mall and local dining spots.
The pathway incorporates tight turns and steep climbs uncommon for railroad grades, with sections diverging from the original railbed due to urban development.
