The Rachel Carson Greenway Trail Corridor Plan
The Montgomery County Planning Board approved the Rachel Carson Greenway Trail Corridor Plan on June 16, 2005. A copy of the Plan may be viewed and downloaded below.
Printed copies of the Plan may be obtained from the M-NCPPC Information Counter, 2nd Floor, 8787 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring. Located in the eastern part of the county, the Rachel Carson Greenway Trail Corridor stretches from Adelphi Mill in Prince George's County northward to the Patuxent River.
The purpose of the Trail Corridor Plan is to:
- Identify opportunities to create a continuous natural surface trail the entire length of the corridor.
- Identify opportunities for interpretation of natural and cultural resources in the corridor.
- Identify opportunities to celebrate the life of Rachel Carson who wrote Silent Spring while a resident of the area.
