Hike through Northwest Branch Stream Valley Park along the Rachel Carson Greenway Trail Corridor's hard-surface and natural-surface trails. The trail begins in Glenmont and continues to Hyattsville, where it connects to the Anacostia River Trail. It begins with a 10-mile natural-surface trail, and it continues as a 2.7-mile hard-surface trail after the Beltway. The trail follows the Northwest Branch river edge, providing a feeling of walking through wilderness. The trail is planned to be extended further in the future. Bicycling is allowed only on the hard-surface trail; hiking is allowed everywhere.
