The Long Branch Trail is a neighborhood trail tracing the Long Branch Creek beginning at its confluence with Sligo Creek in Takoma Park, to Piney Branch Road in Long Branch. The trail is an easy ride: its hard surface provides an ADA-accessible path for walkers, bikers, dog walkers and families with children. It connects multiple neighborhoods to nearby schools, playgrounds, bus stops and a Long Branch Community Center.
As this is a residential trail, access is primarily through the adjacent streets. Parking is available at Long Branch Community Center (8700 Piney Branch Rd, Silver Spring).
The Long Branch Trail is a nice sedate, woodsy trail that is short but sweet. Provides nice access to the Long Branch Recreation Center as well as several local parks. Offers a restful retreat from traffic and noise. Would be nice if it was extended further south to connect to the Sligo Creek Trail.
It is a relatively short trail as is pleasant yet should be better marked
