Schaeffer Farms Information
Location: Germantown, MD
Description: Part of Seneca Creek State Park, Schaeffer Farm is a multi-use network of trails that is very popular with local mountain bikers and hikers. The trails range in difficulty from easy to moderate with a number of technical obstacles and stream crossings distributed around the park that will keep it interesting for everyone. The trail surface is mostly smooth hard packed dirt over undulating terrain with a few challenging climbs. Typically the trails run the perimeter of the fields offering wonderful views of the scenic pastoral farm land and open mature hard wood forests. The signage is outstanding, MORE and Maryland DNR have placed accurate trail maps at the intersections of all trails making it almost impossible to get lost inside the park. Schaeffer Farms was an absolute joy to ride and is one of our favorite parks!!!
