Riding the Anacostia Tributary Trail System: Maryland to Amtrak Station in Washington DC

Last day in Washington, DC, riding from Maryland to Washington, DC along the Anacostia River trails. It's a unified and signed system of stream valley trails along the Anacostia River. I was surprised to see so much greenery and open land so near the center of Washington, DC. If you're visiting DC with your bike and you have some extra time, I recommend riding it.

Love the greenery! Love seeing the boardwalk piece along the water there after the display train car you passed.

Washington DC has some beautiful trails. A good way to get out of a busy city.

I agree with you. Looks like so much greenery and great trails for being so close to D.C

@FollowThomas 3 месяца назад

Great way to use extra time. I could have taken the metro to get to the station but opted to ride, glad I did.

You have been tearing it up. All these adventures are so awesome and fun to ride along with you.😊

Glad to hear it!

Another nice ride, Thomas! It must be frustrating when you find a part of the trail closed. Good thing it wasn't a bad detour and that the trail was greener than you expected! We think of you in our travels whenever we cross bike paths!

@FollowThomas 2 месяца назад

Glad you associate the bike trails with me. I wanna ride them all 😂

Nice trail network and awesome ride for you. I was noticing how the fence hung over the path creating a green tunnel of vegetation. Pretty cool was to add some shade. Neat to see the turtle. The river edge sections of trail I might be tempted to stop and fish! I hope that train crossing the bridge was not your train. I think it left you! LOL. Nice adventure. Have a great day.

DC has a nice bike trail network. I'm gonna do some more riding there in July on the way to Cleveland. That fence was the golf course fence and the train was actually a Metro train, some sections are above the ground. I took that on the way to my friend's house but opted to ride my bike back instead of the Metro train, glad I did. Thanks for watching and have a great day!

Love the DC and MD area. So much open land near DC, you are right. Looks like a nice place to walk and ride. Travel safe my friend and talk soon!

It's a popular trail, a great place to escape the city noise.

My son rides the rail trails in Pennsylvania. But, he is looking at riding the Erie Canal Rail trail from Buffalo to Syracuse, NY.

@FollowThomas 3 месяца назад

I rode the Erie Canal Trail last year and it was one of the best trails. He's gonna love it.

DC has an amazing bike trail system. I have ridden many of them over the years. The route you took looks complicated. I tried to follow on the map but could only make out a few key points like the airport. Always enjoy watching your videos!

@FollowThomas 3 месяца назад

I agree, DC has many bike trails I haven't ridden yet. I do have the RWGPS route link in description of thus ride if you want to check out my route.

This is part of the bike route to NY City (East Coast Greenway route concept), although 80% is road riding and a bus ride across a highway bridge..one of my next few rides

@FollowThomas 3 месяца назад

I saw the East Coast Greenway sign too. It would be an interesting ride from DC to NYC
