Bike Trails 28 miles
"
)
We are lucky to have two fantastic
bike trails on Kent Island. The Cross
Island Trail runs 6 miles east to west
along an abandoned rail corridor, and
the South Island Trail parallels MD
Route 8 between Matapeake and
Kent Point Road. This ride features
our gems and shows off the best of
Kent Island. Remember that the trails
can be crowded during peak usage,
so this may not be the ride for you if
the goal is speed.
6. Turn RIGHT on MD Route 8
south.
Continue to the entrance
of Matapeake Park. (2.7/8.3)
7. At the park entrance, take a
HARD LEFT onto South Island
Trail. (5.6/13.9)(**)
8. At the end of the trail, rejoin
MD Route 8 to the Romancoke
Fishing Pier. (0.1/14.0)
9. Return to Chesapeake
Exploration Center, retracing the
original route. (14.0/28.0)
Sidetrips:
(*) Consider following MD Route 8
N to Love Point. Return to the
mapped route, backtracking
along MD Route 8. The spur
adds 3.6 mi each way.
(**) After traveling 4.7 mi on the
South Island Trail consider a
spur to Bloody Point along
Kent Point Road. Backtrack to
mapped route. The spur adds
4.0 mi each way.
