Description

The Santee Branch Trail, marked with white blazes, is a true gem of the PVSP trail system featuring some rocky bits, some rooty bits, some stream crossings, and plenty of the flowy hardpack singletrack that Patapsco is known for. This trail is perfectly suited to intermediate riders, and is a great trail in the park.
