Tucked away in the heart of Baltimore, Stony Run Trail is the perfect escape when you need a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. Running through some of the most charming neighborhoods, this peaceful, tree-lined path offers a slice of nature without having to venture too far. Whether you're looking for a scenic walk, a refreshing run, or even a quiet spot to just sit and soak in the beauty of the outdoors, Stony Run Trail delivers. The trail follows the historic Ma & Pa Railroad line, weaving through neighborhoods like Roland Park, Remington, and Hampden, creating a perfect mix of urban and natural landscapes.

The trailhead is located near Wyndhurst Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21210, and from the moment you step onto the path, you’ll be surrounded by lush greenery, gentle streams, and the occasional glimpse of wildlife. It’s a hidden gem that locals love, but many visitors don’t even know exists. The easy terrain and well-maintained paths make it great for walkers, joggers, and even families with strollers. Dogs are welcome, too, so it’s a great spot to bring your four-legged friend for a walk. Along the way, you’ll pass through parks, bridges, and even old railroad remnants, adding a little history to your outdoor adventure.

What makes Stony Run Trail even more special is its proximity to some of Baltimore’s best neighborhoods. After a refreshing stroll, you’re just minutes away from Roland Park, one of the city’s oldest and most picturesque communities. If you’re feeling hungry, spots like Miss Shirley’s Café serve up legendary brunches, or you can grab a coffee at Eddie’s of Roland Park, a local favorite. If you head south, you’ll hit Remington, an artsy, up-and-coming neighborhood that’s home to R. House, a trendy food hall with options ranging from poke bowls to authentic tacos. And of course, no trip to this area would be complete without stopping in Hampden, where the quirky shops and vintage stores along The Avenue (36th Street) make for a fun post-trail adventure.

Stony Run Trail also connects to Wyman Park, which sits right next to Johns Hopkins University. It’s a great spot to relax, have a picnic, or just people-watch. The university itself is worth a visit, with its stunning architecture and sprawling green spaces. Plus, if you’re in the mood for a little culture, the nearby Baltimore Museum of Art is home to an impressive collection, including works by Matisse, Picasso, and Warhol—all with free admission!
