Description
Managed by the National Park Service, this Broad Branch Road junction serves as a launch point along the Western Ridge Trail as it cuts from the DC/Maryland border to Bluff Bridge in the park’s southern reaches. From here, outings can shift across surfaces, connecting to Bike Trail #4 heading toward Beach Drive or branching onto the Black Horse and White Horse trails to navigate the broader trail system.
