Westminster, MD, Tuesday, March 10, 2026 – Calling all bikers, walkers, runners, horseback riders and outdoor enthusiasts, the Baltimore Regional Transportation Board (BRTB) and Baltimore Metropolitan Council are hosting a public meeting on Monday, March 23rd from 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm at the Carroll County Public Library Eldersburg Branch, 6400 W Hemlock Dr., Sykesville to discuss the Henryton Road Spur Trail.

According to the Baltimore Metropolitan Council Website, “The Patapsco Regional Greenway (PRG) is a planned 40-mile trail for walking and biking. The PRG connects Sykesville in Carroll County to parts of Howard and Baltimore Counties. Then, it leads to the Inner Harbor in Baltimore City. Some parts of the PRG trail are built, while others are being planned or designed. When complete, the trail will link communities, parks, and trails across Patapsco Valley.

The Henryton Road Spur is a planned 2,000-foot trail. It will be open for walking, biking, and horseback riding. The trail will be located in Carroll County near Sykesville. The Henryton Road Spur will go south following the abandoned Henryton Road.  At the South Branch Patapsco River, a new bridge will allow pedestrians, cyclists, and equestrians to cross the river and railroad tracks. The trail will also connect to Howard County’s trail network.”

Come have your voices heard and share your ideas for the natural service trail connecting the future McKeldin section of the Patapsco Regional Greenway in Carroll County with Howard County across the South Branch Patapsco River. Click here to view an interactive map of the proposed trail.
