Metropolitan Branch Trail

The Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT) is an 8-mile trail that stretches from Union Station in Washington, D.C. to Silver Spring, Maryland, following the historic route of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. This vital transportation corridor links numerous vibrant neighborhoods and provides access to seven Metro stations, enhancing connectivity for residents and visitors alike.

As part of an extensive trail network, the MBT is designed to integrate with other trails such as the Capital Crescent Trail and the Anacostia Trails System, ultimately contributing to the East Coast Greenway. The trail not only serves as a recreational space but also promotes sustainable transportation options, connecting people to their homes, workplaces, and leisure activities.
