Catonsville Rails to Trails

A Bike/Hike Trail Built by the Catonsville Community

Multiple Trail Projects Slated for 2021

Catonsville Rails To Trails (CRTT) is a 501 (c)3 non-profit that promotes pedestrian/bike friendly initiatives in the Catonsville area. Our volunteers maintain 3 miles of woodland trail while developing new trails. Here’s a sampling of the current projects.

A boardwalk section of the Short Line Trail is currently under construction behind Catonsville Elementary School. CRTT has received $100,000 to continue this boardwalk to Bloomingdale Ave.
