Background

The Rhode Island Avenue Trolley Trail is a 3.8-mile trail that is a recreational and transportation asset – it can also become even more of an economic driver than it is today. By linking the downtowns and commercial areas of three Route 1/Baltimore Avenue Corridor communities, the Trolley Trail serves as a convenient connection between our communities.  It is directly connected to the Anacostia River Trail System and Capital Trails Network, a premier regional system of bicycle and pedestrian trails in the DMV.

Currently serving the communities of Hyattsville, Riverdale Park, and College Park, the Prince George’s Department of Parks and Recreation (M-NCPPC) coordinated initial development of the Trolley Trail and remains a supporting partner with the Route 1/Baltimore Avenue communities for expansion and programming. Through events like Trolley Trail Day, we can become a greater destination for residents and out-of-town cyclists to explore our small businesses and cultural sites.
