Indian Head Rail Trail (IHRT)
(Click on thumbnail for a closer view!)

The Indian Head Rail Trail is Charles County's exciting new recreational trail. A generous gift through the Department of Interior's Federal Lands to Parks Program, Charles County is currently converting this abandoned railroad corridor into a 13 mile-bike trail. Eventually connecting the Town of Indian Head to Route 301 in White Plains, the IHRT traverses approximately halfway across our County.
