Yellow Poplar Trail

The longest of the Gambrill trails, this trail is only moderately difficult. Enjoy the view from North Frederick Overlook as you continue north along a moderately sloped ridgeline walk.

Covering 11.9 km, this is a substantial hike requiring a reasonable base fitness. Most walkers complete it in about 2 hours and 38 minutes.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
