Save The Trail Petition

CAPITAL  CRESCENT  TRAIL

MAP

     The Capital Crescent Trail between Bethesda and Silver Spring  (also known as the Georgetown Branch Trail) is an essential link in a circuit of Trails.  It connects with Rock Creek Park Trail going north to Kensington, Rockville and Lake Needwood, and going south to Georgetown,  crossing the Potomac River into Virginia and connecting with the Custis Trail and the Mt. Vernon Trailsl.  Going south on the Capital Crescent Trail it connects with the C&O Towpath to Cumberland, Maryland.

     Because it is an essential link, it brings bikers from all around the Region. About 60% of those who have signed the Petition to Save the Trail come from outside the Bethesda- Chevy Chase area . Click here to see where Petition Signers come from.
