Three Notch Trail (TNT) #3 Traditional Cache

The trail is constructed on the County owned railroad right-of-way (ROW), which runs south from Hughesville to Lexington Park. The trail is a non-motorized pedestrian and bicycle trail. The trail is being constructed of asphalt and will be 10 feet wide in most sections. Appropriate signage, benches, crosswalks and road barriers are also included where needed to enhance the project. The project is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

Phase I of the trail opened in 2006 and begins at MD 236, Thompson's Corner Road, and runs about one mile to the Northern Senior Activity Center. Phase II of the trail begins at the Northern Senior Activity Center and runs about 2.25 miles north to Deborah Drive, in Charles County. This section is also now complete. Construction is also complete on Phase V, from John V. Baggett Park in Laurel Grove to MD Rt. 5 in Mechanicsville. Phase VI of the trail, from MD Rt. 5 to MD Rt. 236, is now open. Completion of this section makes the trail in the northern area of the County approximately 11 continuous miles.
