Monkton Station

Beautiful river and trail. Unfortunately the staff hasn’t been helpful lately. I’ve been calling them for weeks to try to return an expensive electronic item someone lost that I found on the trail. I live out of town. If anyone goes past Monkton Station, would you please ask the staff to periodically check their lost and found voicemail? Thanks!

This restored railroad station now turned state park display office is a hidden gem. Riders or river tubers can treat themselves to a ice cream or review some of the other displays detailing the abundance of plants and wildlife that inhabit the Monkton area.

The NCR Trail is just a wonderful asset of the Baltimore County Community. At mile 7 on the NCR, Monkton Station is a good starting point as well as a turn around point if you are coming in from the south or just a good resting point in either direction.

Nice flat running path with accurate mile markers. I prefer starting there compared to Ashland or sparks because there are less people and the surface is slightly softer for running.

One of my favorite trails to ride. The trail is a beginner level, very roomy for others to pass. I have traveled 16 miles in one direction and haven't hit an end. Very scenic. Great for a walk, jog or cycling.
