Revitalizing 8 miles of the Historic Gywnns Falls Trail
In 1991, Congress passed the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, which funded recreational trails nationwide, inspiring Baltimore City planners to create the Gwynns Falls Trail. Over the next decade, they collaborated with the Trust for Public Land and other partners to design a 15-mile trail along the Gwynns Falls stream valley, hosting community activities like neighborhood walks and youth recreation. Today, the Gwynns Falls Trail is a 22-mile corridor for hiking and biking, running through 30 unique neighborhoods and 10 historically significant parks in Baltimore, Maryland. In June 2024, Parks & People cut the ribbon on 8 miles of improvements made to this historic trail.
