Black Hill Trail Extension
Division: Park Development
Project Description
Black Hill Regional Park
This project extends an existing trail 1.2 miles from the terminus near Spinning Wheel Drive to Parking Lot 6, near the picnic area in Black Hill Regional Park. This new eight-foot wide trail will connect two existing trail segments and provides the only hard surface trail connection from the Water’s Landing community to the developed area of Black Hill Regional Park.
Background
Several plans, including the 2002 Black Hill Regional Park Master Plan and the 1998 Countywide Park Trails Plan, envisioned a hard surface trail network that links the residents of Germantown and Clarksburg to Black Hill Regional Park. This trail is part of a larger network which will make the regional park accessible to those living in the vicinity of the park. A facility planning study was conducted and the plan for the trail was approved by the Montgomery County Planning Board on September 11, 2003. The project was approved and funded for detailed design and construction by the Montgomery County Council.
Status/Project Update
Detailed design is 100% completed.
