Gwynns Falls Trail, Weg in den Vereinigten Staaten
Gwynns Falls Trail is a more than 20 mile long path that winds through Baltimore following the creek of the same name. It passes through 30 neighborhoods and 10 parks, with sections that are paved for easy walking and biking, along with some natural unpaved stretches.
The creek that runs alongside the path has shaped this area for hundreds of years, once providing water for farms and early industries. The trail project began in the 1990s with government funding and has since been expanded to its current length.
The trail's name comes from Gwynns Falls creek, a waterway that has defined this landscape for centuries. Local groups organize regular gatherings and clean-up events here, making it a meeting point for neighbors and a space where people connect with their surroundings.
Most sections of the path are paved and easy to walk for people of all ages, with marked routes and rest spots along the way. The trail is open year-round, and each season offers different conditions for walking, biking, or taking breaks.
Recent improvements completed in 2024 added new features, better signage, and more rest areas along the entire path. These upgrades show the city's ongoing commitment to maintaining and enhancing access to nature and local history for everyone.
