Route and access notes

Explore the former Northern Central Railway corridor in northern Maryland, from Ashland toward the Pennsylvania line. This hiking assessment follows the Torrey C. Brown section, not the onward Heritage Rail Trail to York.

Planning this route

Maryland DNR describes a 19.7-mile corridor; the source measures 32 km, with endpoints at Ashland and the state line. Mostly compacted surface is recorded. Choose an access point and plan a return or pickup rather than treating the one-way length as a round trip.

Access and source limitations

Consult Maryland DNR trail regulations, opening information and parking notices. The continuation into Pennsylvania is a separate route and is not included here. A condition score is not permission for overnight parking or confirmation of current access.
